A member asked:
Can i be blind due to ra ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: But possible. Usually dry eye iritis and steroid related cataracts. But rarely Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) retinal toxicity after 7-8 yrs of high doses. Eyemds monitor for this quite carefully every 6 months or so reducing the chance of blindness.
