Burning, scratching eyes

What treatments work for eye problems. Am taking drops with limited success.

  1. Hi - eye issues with RA are unfortunately common. Here is a good article that shares more: https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/living/red-eye-inflammation To your question, the treatment will differ depending on the specific eye issue and also your personal medical history. For instance, dry eye is a common symptom of RA, but over the counter eye drops often are not helpful for those with chronic dry eye and prescription drops are needed. Sometimes that's not helpful either. The article I linked to has some good info. Warmly, - Reggie, RheumatoidArthritis.net team member
