Does anyone struggle with eye problems?

Hi @JennaRra

How are you doing today?

I am sorry to hear about your dry eyes. If after a few days, your eyes don't clear up, I would suggest going to see a physician for a check up, just to make sure it is not an infection. But let me tag a few other members - they may be able to share whether or not they have experienced something similar and what they did to make their eyes feel 'normal'

Have you experienced any eye issues like dry or red eyes? Did you go to the doctor or did it eventually resolve itself? If OTC drops don't work, do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance for sharing!

Take care,

Hi there, I’ve just been diagnosed with MGD which can be one of the symptoms of PsA.

I was going through a lot of drops and my eyes were very dry and sore.
As well as tear ducts we have oil glands on upper and lower lids, which get blocked meaning there is no oil to stop tear duct water from drying out.
a heat mask twice a day, cleaning eyelids after with tea tree oil wipes and then eye drops has been an absolute lifesaver.

if you google Meibomian Gland Dysfunction you’ll get more info, hope that helps x
