ABSTRACT
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This article summarizes the pathophysiology of rheumatoid arthritis and common ocular manifestations that it is associated with keratoconjunctivitis sicca, episcleritis, scleritis, and peripheral ulcerative keratitis. RECENT FINDINGS:
Newer biologic agents are being used to effectively treat rheumatoid arthritis and its ocular manifestations.SUMMARY:
The eye is a frequent extra-articular site of inflammation in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Ocular involvement can range from more benign conditions such as keratoconjunctivitis sicca and episcleritis, to potentially vision and globe-threatening diseases like scleritis and peripheral ulcerative keratitis. Clinicians should be aware of these ophthalmic manifestations and the various treatment options that are available. Coordination between ophthalmology and rheumatology is helpful in the treatment of these patients.
