Ophthalmic Involvement in Rheumatoid Arthritis: A review
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Ophthalmic involvement in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can be mild discomforting as in dryness of eyes/redness as a part of secondary sjogren or episcleritis, or it may even evolve into the cause of serious discomfort and vision threatening illness such as scleritis, peripheral ulcerative keratitis, or retinal vasculitis. Apart from above, ophthalmic involvement as a result of steroids (cataract/glaucoma), hydroxychloroquine (retinopathy) and others is equally important. This case report and review deal with primary ophthalmological involvement in RA.
