Rheumatoid Arthritis and eye problems
Hello,
I have a question about my mother (57) who has been suffering from RA for years, currently taking Methotrexate.
Now she has a problem with her eyes (dryness, pain, gritty eyes, broken capillaries, photosensitivity). The cornea looks blurry and damaged.
This problem has been going on for a year with periodical improvements. During this period, she was taking Maxitrol, now she takes Yellox.
Can you tell me Your opinion about a relation between RA and eye problems?
Thank you!
