ABSTRACT
Autoimmune retinopathy (AIR) is an umbrella term for a group of rare autoimmune retinal degenerative disease presumably caused by cross-reactivity of serum autoantibodies directed against ratinal antigens, and include cancer-associated retinopathy, melanoma-associated retinopathy and non-paraneoplastic autoimmune retinopathy. Common feature of AIR include progressively painless vision loss with abnormal electrophysiology responses associated with positive anti-retinal antibodies. They present a clinical diagnosis challenge on account of the rare incidence, unobvious clinical symptoms and lack of specific and sensitive biological markers. Early diagnosis and treatment may play a critical role to avoid the irreversible immunological retinal damage.
