Eye inflammation

I have extremely. Dry eyes the opthamologist said. I thought I might have Uveitis. I am going to a dry eye clinic. Anyone else with this problem? I have AS, had a very bad flare that spread to my peripheral joints then facial rash and dry eyes too. Thanks! Shelley

  1. I don't have an appt until 10/21 My eyes are still horrible. There are some drops left at the counter for me. I have to drive 1.5 hours back to get them. They will not ship them or call them into my pharmacy. So back out I go I can't see well so my husband has to take them off from work. So thankful for all your support Shell

  2. Eye inflammation can be an important symptom to discuss with your healthcare provider, especially if it appears suddenly or is accompanied by pain, redness, or vision changes.

    1. Thank you for your comment. It is so important to take care of our vision. Plus, uveitis (eye inflammation) can be one of the many. many symptoms of AS. Have you experienced uveitis? How have you dealt with it? All the best, Kathy (Team member)

  3. Hi Shelley!

    I hope that you are able to get some answers and relief at the dry eye clinic.

    I wanted to pass on these articles written by people with Uveitis. I hope some of our members can comment with their own experiences also. Please keep us in the loop with your journey!

    Warmly, Chelley (Team Member)
