Eye Problems

I sometimes feel like I have a rock under my eyelid. (That’s the only way I can describe it). Has anyone else had this problem? I don’t know if it’s Lupus related or if I should go to my regular eye doctor.

Hi Ashleigh,

Actually I would go to my eye dr. if it has been feeling like that for more than a day or so. I have had a virus in my eye before (twice) that can be quite significant if not addressed right away. It feels like I have a small pebble or have maybe scratched it. Your eye dr. can bill it thru your medical if that helps with payment. My suggestion is to not assume anything and have it checked. It is not necessarily a 'lupus' thing as much as it is an autoimmune thing I think!

I agree you should have it checked out. You never want to play around with your vision. Sometimes my dry eyes feel that way, but there could be so many causes that need treatment.

Hi
Go to an opthamologist now just an "eye dr"
If you’re on plaquenil you should be going.
