Most people think arthritis mainly affects the body’s joints. But did you know it can sometimes affect other parts of the body, including your eyes? Eye symptoms experienced by individuals afflicted with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) include dry eyes and inflammation. Hear from ophthalmologist Dr. Priya Janardhana about what to watch for and how she partners with rheumatologists when she discovers symptoms that are consistent with a more systemic RA diagnosis. Whether you have arthritis or not, don’t wait to get your eyes checked. Finding and treating eye problems early can help prevent more serious vision problems down the road.
