Hi Andrea! RA definitely can cause complications with the eye. About 25% of people living with RA will experience acute, chronic, or recurrent eye problems.
One of our community advocates Lisa shares her experience with eye issues. I'm sharing that article as it's a good starting point to give more context to eye problems and RA. Lisa also experienced redness. And while everyone's diagnosis can be different, her experience can offer an anecdotal perspective!
