    Hi John

    It sounds serious if you experiencing blurred vision.

    I have RA and recently diagnosed Sjorgens Syndrome.
    It does go hand in hand with RA.

    I was given drops as it causes dry eyes and dry mouth.

    I dont have blurred vision though,
    hope the doc can help on Friday.

    Hi John,

    I have just googled blurred vision and RA and yes, it can be caused by RA. I am relieved to hear that you are at the docs on Friday and make sure that he does take notice when you mention this. I hope you have not been having this blurry vision for too long as it should be sorted much sooner than later.

    Let us know the outcome won't you?

    Luv

    Hi,
    Yes, just another horrible symptom of RA...
    I have got some drops from my GP and they really helped.
    Hope you get sorted out.

    Hi John
    Have had red dry sore eyes before too if that helps and they DID hurt a lot if I changed the direction I looked...
