[natellie36]

Hi all, My daughter said to me yesterday mom you have a brown dot in your eye i said where she said on the iris part so i looked in the mirror could'nt see anything but she said its there,just wondering if i should go to the opticians as i've read that ra can affect the eyes, has anyone else had any problems with their eyes?

Yes I agree with you in and see the optician. RA can affect your eyes. Dry eyes are quite common. Can also be affected by the medicines..

Hiya, often they are just a freckle and not a problem. However in rare cases they can be showing liver problems or sarcoidosis, however I mean rare

So best thing go to the optician, or doctor then if they suspect any problems they will refer you to ophthalmic consultant or medical consultant , but mainly they are just freckles ! Let me know what they say xx

I have loads of problems with my eyes, all RA/auto-immune related not drug related but don't have any spots and don't get flashes, I get inflammation and pain of the white in one eye and possible inflammation of the iris, and bad dryness in both plus something weird with the nerve in the worst eye, I see an opthamologist regularly! Definitely anyone if you have any worries about your eyes get them checked out, you only have the two! xxx
