Hey... I am so sorry to hear about that. I did had scleritis ( an inflammation on the white part of the eye that creates a thick blood bubble and hurts like hell. My doctor has told me that was due to the APS and I had to drop steroid colirium for almost two months until the bubble has disappeared. I also have very dry eyes and I have use lubricant drops like Fresh tears. Sweety, you must keep the faith that things will be fine. I'LL pray for you. Bia

I've been getting some really painfull twinges in my eyes lately, they last a minute or two and are really unpleasant. Also going to have to have an eye op in the coming months to remove a tyridium, this'll be my third op but only my second with APS, first one failed and I'm hoping it wasn't as a result of the APS.

The problems with my eyes is how I found out I had APS. My neuro-eye specialists discovered "sticky blood" was causing the optic nerve damage in both eyes and other vision and retinal migraine problems. I take warfarin therapy for life! Although my INR jumps around. Still get eyes checked frequently for mini-strokes in eyes.

I have some issues with blurry vision but it comes and goes. I was confused by the hospital was sent straight there by opticians and seen over two months by different people who said there was nothing wrong but they referred me to someone who specialises in vasculitis and eyes. He told me that I had had a haemorrhage and it was clearly visible (he had a student with him who could see it). I went a few months later and asked if the warfarin had caused the haemorrhage (me thinking it was bleed and I'm anxious that my INR target is high 4.0). He looked at me a bit oddly and said let me explain "you've had a stroke in your eye.

APS caused me some more vision loss, glasses since I was 10. Caused a blind spot in mt left eye. Technically speaking I am now legally blind in said eye.

I now realize what I was seeing in my eyesight before being diagnosed with APS was in fact the blood flow. Kinda looked like fish eggs.
