Eyes becoming red
My eyes are turning red from a while continuously. After consulting eye doctor he said that there is a rheumatic problem after checking the reports. When I was 18 years old i got rheumatic arthritis. I used medicines and it stopped. Every year in winter I will be having body pains. Is there a relation between rheumatic arthritis and my eyes turning red.

Hello
Red eyes could be due to uveitis or dry eyes which both are related to arthritis
Now it is very difficult to comment without examining you the exact cause for this redness
Kindly consult local ophthalmologist and get proper eye examination done

Dry eye is very common in rheumatoid arthritis so your eyes are getting red often. Best solution is using lubricating drops such as lubrex or refresh tears
