Autoimmune diseases can have a significant impact on your eyesight, affecting various parts of the eye and leading to conditions like dry eye syndrome, uveitis and even retinal damage. When the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells, inflammation can occur, causing discomfort and vision problems.

It's crucial to stay vigilant about your eye health if you have an autoimmune condition. Regular eye exams can help detect any changes early and ensure timely treatment.
