Eyes and RA

Morning all you good people

I had an operation done on both my eyes few years back to remove cataracts which was deep in my eyes

Ever since I have regretted it now I wear 3 pairs of glasses and before I only used to wear one for reading I feel my RA has gone into my eyes pain and swelling heat and my sight is worse

I now have to apply eye drops creams which don't work and wearing glasses permanently which don't even give me clear vision

My eyes are destroyed very depressing

Thank you judith

I can relate to this but thankfully only need 1 pair off glasses but need them permanently, last October I had my right eye done but don’t really notice much difference and have to use the drops and gel each day and night,this disease can really be a pain at times xxx
