With the development of researches on the relationship between periodontal health and general health, more and more evidences showed that periodontitis was closely related to oculopathy, while the mechanisms were not very clear at present. This article will focus on the influences of periodontitis on the occurrence and development of various oculopathy such as diabetic retinopathy and senile macular degeneration, and discuss the possible mechanisms of the influence by periodontitis. This will provide a theoretical basis for the new ideas on prevention and treatment of oculopathy.
