Common eye symptoms with lupus can include:

• Scratchy or gritty feeling
• Blurred vision
• Watery eyes
• Bulging eyes
• Partial vision loss
• Red or inflamed eyes
• Eye pain or pressure
• Increased light sensitivity

These symptoms often occur during lupus flares and can affect any part of the eye including the lids, retina, sclera (white outer layer), and nerves. It's important to note that some eye problems can lead to permanent vision damage if left untreated. If you experience any eye symptoms, you should have them checked by an ophthalmologist promptly. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for protecting your vision.
