Autoimmune diseases can significantly impact the health and function of the eyes, giving rise to a range of ocular manifestations and diseases. The immune system's misdirected attack on its own tissues can lead to inflammation and tissue damage within various eye structures. Conditions such as uveitis, Sjogren's syndrome, and Graves' disease exemplify the many ways autoimmune disorders affect the eyes. Uveitis, a severe form of inflammation within the eye, can result in redness, pain, and blurred vision. Sjögren's syndrome often leads to severe dry eyes and dry mouth due to immune-mediated damage to tear and salivary glands. In Graves' disease, an overactive thyroid caused by autoimmune responses can induce bulging eyes and eyelid retraction, potentially impacting vision and causing discomfort. These intricate connections between autoimmune processes and ocular health underscore the necessity of comprehensive care that addresses both systemic and eye-specific symptoms, enabling patients to better manage these complex conditions.

I'm a Medical Doctor ( physician) by God's grace and I've researched a lot about dry eyes symptoms over the years because I noticed how frequent it was becoming ( the computer age is a big culprit) . Although there's no evidence of underlying autoimmune conditions ( in most affected people), I found these important things to consider and would recommend it to you all: 1. Vitamin D deficiency is associated associated with dry eyes and so that should be ruled out, especially for those living in countries with limited sun exposure.Vitamin D supplements would be helpful if that's the case ( OTC vitamin D supplements are available but do not exceed 4,000 IU per day to avoid vit D toxicity, although it's very rare and would take several months for that to happen). 2.. Dehydration - drink enough water per day. Eat enough fruits and veggies 3. Eat diets rich in omega 3 like flaxseed oil etc or take omega 3 supplements . Also eat foods reach in vitamin A eg carrots , moringa has one of the highest vit A components ( more than carrot) etc. 4. Reduce sun exposure to your eyes nad wear sun glasses just as you wear sunscreen on your body 5. BLINK often - due to the internet age, we continuous use devices and forget to blink . Try to limit exposure to these devices by resting your eyes. Meibomian gland atrophy is associated with bad device use habits . Do some eye massages like with essential oils like jojoba oil , almond oil, olive or even coconut oil ( do not put the oil into your eyes ! ) 6. Wash eyes out with slightly cold water or do a cold compress ( close eyes as you dip your eyes in cold water cupped in palm ). 7. Use swim goggles when entering into pools or swimming in the sea or any unknown fresh water bodies 8. There's a condition called ocular laboropthalmus ( involuntary eye opening during sleep) which in turn leads to dry eyes. There's a milder form called inadequate lead seal ( has several causes like thyroid eye disease, facial palsies, trauma and cosmetic procedures, but may even be ' normal' if a person has normally large eye balls) can also cause dry eyes especially after waking up from a long sleep or even a nap. You may need things that keep your eyes closed like sleeptite etc . Someone even uses cello tape for this 😅. Get the right sleep goggles though. 9. Get eyedrops for symptomatic relief that target tear production, healing of the cornea and even improves meibomian gland health. I'd recommended this Hylo night eye drops ( it has bit A and corrects dry eyes symptoms 98% ,lasts for 6 months after opening and contains NO preservatives. But it may contain peanut oil so avoid if you are allergic, apart from that it's the best . You can get it from your local pharmacy if available or amazon or online pharmacies ). You may consider other alternatives by checking the list of reviewed different types of eye drops by renowned US optometrists. www.reviewofcontactlenses.com/article/from-basics-to-biologics-selecting-drops-for-every-dry-eye-patient Avoid eye drops with preservatives especially if you use them more than 4 times per day BUT Benzalkonium chloride and thimerosal formulations should be avoided at all costs. www.reviewofcontactlenses.com/article/from-basics-to-biologics-selecting-drops-for-every-dry-eye-patient 10. If the above lifestyle modifications doesn't help. Get tested for any underlying conditions like autoimmune conditions, thyroid diseases etc. All the best , God bless you and peace ✌️

@@kday9438 I’m not the doctor, but Restasis is supposed to be effective because it treats the inflammation which causes the symptoms, the dry eyes and dry mouth. Whereas , eyedrops only treat the symptoms and not the cause, which is the inflammation, It’s not an option for me, unfortunately, because it’s too expensive ($500 per month) and my insurance doesn’t cover it until I satisfy my deductible ( which is $9,100). If you can afford it, or if your insurance covers it, I would definitely recommend trying it. I would if it was an option for me. I have Sjogrens Syndrome and my eyes are bone dry. I heard it takes like 9 months though before it starts being effective, just so you know. In the meantime, for me, I’ve taken out foods from my diet that are inflammatory and added Onega 3’s, with an EPA between 1,000-1,500, daily. Hope this helps if you get no response from the doctor.

Sorry doc, but you are making the erroneous generalization that all eye doctors are competent and actually give a rip about patient care. Many of us who live in more remote areas are left with amateur night eye doctors, who lack your knowledge and are not willing to refer their patients to a subspecialist when necessary. Moreover, the same bad actors do not keep up with their professional reading of pertinent medical literature. Your patients are fortunate to have access to you.

Wow, you hit the nail on the head with this comment. I've had an evisceration and countless bad encounters with eye doctors that had knowledge of what's really going on with me. I grew up in a moderately medical science affluent city, (Grand Rapids, MI) however, when it came to providing the total eye care that was needed for me they dropped the ball. I had a biopsy done on my lungs (2008) and it came back conclusive for 'workplace air contamination'. Right now I'm fighting like hell to keep my remaining eye healthy enough to remain somewhat independent. It doesn't help that I'm hyper allergic to oral steroids and a responder to topical steroids. I still use the topical steroids when needed. But, I've had a doctor actually storm out of the exam room while slamming the door and rattling the charts and startling other patients and coworkers in the process. This happened at a major eye treatment facility in Grand Rapids. It's hard as hell to receive the right eye care when your situation is unique to you. I do know this, I have to stay away from certain foods, wheat is especially one of them. Wheat will cause me to have a flare up in my sleep. Leaving me with permanently blurry vision if not treated with topical steroids.y metabolism has completely changed from what it used to be.

Totally agree! I have dry eye and have used contact lenses in the past, with moisturising drop, good hygiene and only used them for a few hours at a time for things that needed me to see lol, but glasses would slip or fall off which dries me nuts, or on a night out. never overnight. I’ve been hospitalised three times due to the serous nature of the uveitis, horrible experience, could keep my eye open, no way could I be in a room with a curtain open, tearing, anyway corneal ulcers that arose from this put me in hospital 3 times in a year and a half. It was put down to contact lenses even though I had not used contacts since my first ulcer. The auto immune basket was just too hard. New Zealand health care is bad, you can’t get specialist appointments at all. It’s just a joke. So you get bounced around and nothing is ever got a conclusion. I now have terrible vision and permanent double vision when driving, due to the distance you are focusing on in front of you, no double vision before a certain distance . Two positive ANA tests 320 speckled, results as well but the two were not connected. Easier to put it down to contact lenses that I didn’t even wear anymore! I have so many auto immune symptoms, but no one gives a shit. As a nurse I think I kinda understand as few things, yet I’m still not listened too. It’s sad.

Emergency Room doctors missed Autoimmune Temporal Arteritis in my mother which caused her to go blind in one eye and narrowed the field of vision in her remaining eye. This after she already reported that she had another Autoimmune disease (celiac disease). I personally have been dx with 3 Autoimmune disorders. Autoimmune disease is very serious yet most Doctors do not seem to be educated about the relationships between disease - as the old commercial says "buy one, collect them all".

@@M00159I have primary Sjogrens as well - was diagnosed in 2007 but feel like I had it from birth -I had to have my tear ducts manipulated however, they did that back in the 1960s almost immediately after I was born they were clogged I think I had frequent infections upper respiratory, a lot of dry coughs, frequent strep throat. I was born to a mother who had severe postpartum could not bond with me for six months we never were financially compromised. My family was in tact for a back of a lack of a better worm, but there was a lot of toxicity chaos and I was severely abused by an older sister on my life and I am 100% convinced that trauma and abuse is the root cause of all autoimmune diseases. Sjogrens is miserable. It is deteriorating my body, including my eyesight.

@@Huckfintress I am sorry you had such a tough start in life, with childhood illnesses, issues with your mom and the abuse by your sister. I can’t imagine how hard that must have been for you. Unfortunately, we have zero control over the family we’re born into. Some people are born into an ideal family life with much love and money., while others are not so fortunate. In this regard, life is not fair. It boils down to the luck of the draw. Your point about autoimmune diseases being born out of trauma and abuse is an interesting one. It would be worthwhile for social/ medical scientists to study that and see if there’s a link. I didn’t suffer childhood trauma or abuse , but my mom always had health issues growing up, including rheumatoid arthritis, which is also autoimmune. So, there’s probably a genetic link. Stress may also play a role. I was a single parent and had a stressful job at the time I was diagnosed. I was always stressed out. My Sjogrens wasn’t diagnosed until I was in my late thirties. At least that’s when I noticed symptoms. It’s a terrible disease to deal with, but I know there are worse. My symptoms are mostly dry eyes. My mouth gets dry, too, but it mostly impacts my eyes. I keep up with dental appointments and cleanings to try and keep my teeth healthy, because, as you probably know, Sjogrens sufferers are prone to dental cavities due to the lack of enough saliva in the mouth. I also have regular eyes exams. I’ve never had joint pain or have had a rheumatologist as part of my medical team, only a primary care physician. So, all these years, I’ve been treating the symptoms . Biotine has an array of products for dry mouth symptoms and there are plenty of OTC eye drops and gels for dry eyes. The problem with eye drops is that the symptom relief is not long lasting. I’m constantly putting drops in my eyes all day long. But… I have just started a new eye drop I ordered from Amazon, and it’s noticeably more effective than anything I’ve tried so far. I can immediately feel the quality of the drop in my eyes and am truly impressed with the relief I get from the dryness. The eyedrops are called, Viscosan, Lubricant Eye Drops, put out by a company called, AGEPHA PHARMA, out of the Slovak Republic. More expensive than Systane eyedrops or the like found at your local Walmart, around $14.00 for a .34 fl oz. bottle. But BOY is it worth it. These drops provide relief that I’ve never been able to find before in any other eye-drop. What a difference. Lastly, and I’ll end this lengthy comment, is the fact that Sjogrens is progressive. It can affect major organs such as the lungs, liver and kidneys. I say this because you need to monitor Sjogrens progression. I have noticed my breathing capacity isn’t what it used to be. I run out of breath when having a conversation. I don’t feel winded at all, I just find myself drawing an extra breath to finish my sentences. I attribute this to my Sjogrens affecting my lungs. Also, my pcp found protein in my urine, a sign of kidney damage. I now have a nephrologist for my kidneys. My kidney function is still normal at the moment, but with Sjogrens being progressive, I imagine I will need medication soon to control the protein leaking out in my urine. I’ve drastically changed my diet to plant based and limited my sodium and protein intake. So, at your next physical, make sure your doctor does a urine test to see if there’s any protein in your urine. Because, if there is, then it’s likely because of the Sjogrens. I do not have diabetes or high blood pressure, or dehydration, so I think the Sjogrens is beginning to affect my kidneys. Please monitor your Sjogrens. Best of luck to you.

I've had some success in improving these kinds of issues. After getting lyme disease about 25 years ago, I've had all kinds of problems that are probably best classified as autoimmune, including periods of chronic dry eyes and full blown uveitis, requiring steroid eye drops. One of the most useful things I've found is fasting. I'm not sure what the mechanism is, but I'd guess either a rise in anti-inflammatory hormones during fasting, a lack of offending food components that might trigger autoimmune responses or lack of bacteria growing on food in the gut producing immune responses. Maybe a combination, who knows. All I know really is that if I start getting hints of eye issues that I'm familiar with, either dryness, or beginnings of uveitis, if I stop eating for a day or two, it seems to stop it from going any further and reset me. I also think there is likely an interplay with at least heavy metal toxicity if not other toxins, which are ubuiquitous now, even in new borns. I've done quite a bit of metals detox and it can cause uveitis flares, presumably from circulating mercury or whatever it is. When I first started I got flares, but once I got deeper in, I rarely feel uveitis flares coming on anymore, and dryness is also uncommon. Just be careful where you look for info on detoxification. It is mostly BS. Christopher Shade and Bryan Walsh seem like the smartest guys in the room on that subject and I've had good success with their stuff. Just be careful, you can't go too fast or it can cause harsh reactions. There doesn't seem to be a ton of information on eye issues and mercury but there is definitely some, including dry eyes. For me it started with an observation, so hard to say for sure how much it might be causative. Worth looking into and experimenting with though when there are not a lot of options for real solutions. At this point, I seem to have a handle on it, good luck everyone.

Thanks for sharing. My wife had anterior iritis too, around same time with thyroid nodules. The doctors were not sure the root causes, but months before, her gut was not well. So, our hypothesis is leaky gut and gluten. So, she stopped eating anything with gluten, stopped oat meals too. Her thyroid nodules disappeared in 3 weeks, and her eye needs similar steroid eye drop every hour first 3 days to control inflammation. Grateful that she recovered. A further analysis we found as e.g. modern bread making just use 2 hours to sit the dough, not enough for yeast enzymes to break down gluten proteins to amino acids. Just the learning so far. We eat sauerkraut too every now and then to keep gut healthy. FYR. Blessings.

I had to use different glasses every now and then with no changes to see right, I have had fibro over 25 yrs. Finally someone mentioned. The eye has muscles and since fibro is a muscular problem (pain) no wonder the eyes were bothered. So yes eyes are not left out of the body's disease problems.

Thanks for sharing. My wife had anterior iritis, around same time with thyroid nodules. The doctors were not sure the root causes, but months before, her gut was not well. So, our hypothesis is leaky gut and gluten. So, she stopped eating anything with gluten, stopped oat meals too. Her thyroid nodules disappeared in 3 weeks, and her eye needs similar steroid eye drop every hour first 3 days to control inflammation. Grateful that she recovered. A further analysis we found as e.g. modern bread making just use 2 hours to sit the dough, not enough for yeast enzymes to break down gluten proteins to amino acids. Just the learning so far. We eat sauerkraut too every now and then to keep gut healthy. FYR. Blessings

Hello Dr. Can you do a talk on ocular melanoma. My husband went for a normal check on his eyes and within 1 year the opticians thought it was some kind of lesion. Once seen by a consultant my hubby had his left eye removed! This is a more common than you think. At Sheffield the consulting areas were full of patients with the same condition cancer of the eye. Its not just a matter of having blue eyes it can happen to anyone. Long story short hubby had a prosthetic eye fitted. he can drive and work. Found it difficult at first as needed to get used to the shift in his balance. His right eye then had a bleed and had to have a course of injections in his eyeball. But all ok. Hubby has to have 6 monthly scans on his liver and eyes to make sure no metastasis. I had blurriness when seen at the opticians in my left eye. So whilst waiting for a consultant appointment i started taking MACUSAVE, all i can tell you this saved my eyesight. Good luck to everyone❤

Another telltale sign that demyelination has occurred at some point is the worsening of symptoms when body temperature increases. For example, if you notice that your vision deteriorates every time you have a fever, exercise vigorously or take a hot bath. This is known as Uhthoff's sign and is due to the fact that a small increase in temperature can reduce the conduction of nerve impulses when myelin has been damaged.

You have to ask for tests of ferritin. I dont know if your levels are low. At least you need 30mcg of ferritin. Sometimes, your blood test are right because they are low until your levels of ferritin are inexistent. I am pretty sure that your ferritin is low and that explains why your hair is falling. You should go with a tricologist. But, I am pretty sure that your iron levels are not good. Covid has an impact on the iron metabolism. Your body is certainly having an inflamation problem. You have to try Omega 3 in high dosis and a diet to recover your microbiota. Drink bone brooth, prebiotics, avoid sugar. You can search in internet about diets for autoinmune diseases. Perhaps your doctors have not found the real cause for your dry eyes, but certainly something is wrong.

You might consider Sjogren's Syndrome if you also have dry mouth/severe dental cavities, dry vagina or joint pain. 50% of Sjogren's occurs with another autoimmune disease like MS, RA, Lupus, etc. I got to the point where I couldn't wear contacts & had to get LASIK even though it's dangerous for dry eye patients. I insisted because I could NOT see: contacts were melting to my corneas & I was using canola oil to get them out. The doc made me get punctal plugs which apparently helped massively because my eyes are no longer foggy & blurry like before. Sjogren's causes all moisture producing glands in your body to dry out permanently including salivary glands, tear ducts, pancreas, synovial fluid in joints, etc. It increases lymphoma risk so good to know if you have it even though there's no specific treatment.

I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, after 7 yrs developed a condition where my eyes were swelling and busting blood vessels. Opthalmologist asked my medical condition and was sent to vascular eye surgeon. He told me I had Lupus. Was never given name of condition. I had it twice, very painful. Also very light sensitive.

Rather, how does eye disease cause autoimmune disease. I had arthritis in my fingers and my toes. I could not use tools or wear shoes. After a couple of years a had pressure behind my eye and a sudden flood of floaters. I went to our local eye doctor and he said you just have dry eyes and floaters are normal at your age. I left his office and drove home. My eyes felt like I had sznd in them, I had to pull over and call his office. I went back to see him and he said to use dry eye over the counter and not to come ba k for a year. A month later my eyes began to tear up and my tears actually burned the skin around both eyes. I went to different doctor and he said I had a severe case of blethritis and prescribed an antibiotic ointment. I ended up uses a very high concentration and it killed what ever it was. Instantly my arthritis was GONE. INSTANTLY. I now where shoes and have no problem with using tools, and I can carry a bag of cement.

I found RA link as well with one of my hair test clients. She had severe dry eye so bad that she had to wear a patch over one of her eyes because crystals would form in her eyes. She went to multiple doctors with no resolve. One had her putting drops in her eyes that caused things to get worse. A hair test revealed she was high in mercury. One of the many symptoms of mercury in the body is rheumatoid arthritis. And one of the symptoms of RA is dry eye. Many things can be traced back to toxic metals in the body. As well as other toxins.

my dentist told me my dry mouth was the worse they had ever seen - i should brush 5 (FIVE!!!) times a day. it never occurred to them to suggest this a something that should be looked into and certainly did not think about sjogrens. I was astonished when i put the 2 together. It all about basic training for the multiverse of the dentis/opthalmologist/general practicioner, etc. I guess they can't know EVERYTHING! :) ...but I'd have thought they might have at least concidered sjogrens with such severe dry mouth.

Ive had hypothyroidism for over a decade. Developed Sjogrens Syndrome along with a granuloma over the lymph glands in my groin/thigh after taking the vaccine-1 dose. Eyes are so dry and have so little saliva overnight that now my teeth are rough-like sandpaper. Extreme fatigue, pain in jaw. My eyes went cloudy suddenly at the first sign of getting this disorder and now my vision fades in and out of these clouds.Having my eyes like this affects my brain and its hard to think/concentrate due to the eye-brain connection. It's like there's a disconnect to my brain when I cant see well. Have days when im so tired I cant get anything done. Has anyone else had this kind of reaction within a couple of months after taking the vaccine? My rheumatologist and eye dr cant do much at all to help. Mostly want to rx prednisone and Ive gained 10 pounds in 1.5 years from it. Ugh.

@agnieszkasilicka2289 Год назад
@teresacherin6624 how did you find out about granuloma on your lymph nodes? What test did you have? I got blurry vision and eye dry syndrom after vaccine (never ever had any problems with eyes/sight before that, but cause of age 43 at the time of V i was told is aging...in UK its still in denial vaccine damage,side effects, post vacc etc). Rheumatologist changing diagnosis from fibromylagia to undifferentiated connective tissue disease. I had and I am still having loads of symptoms with fatigue and weakness worst for me.. For last few months my cervical lymph nodes are swollen. Nodes in armpit, groin, chest and elbow as well as swollen they are painful often.. No investigation...i am told its all normal...

Because I have to have the lens in my eyes replaced with artificial lens but its suppose to last for the rest of my life but the only one insurance covers is the lens that will restore your eyesight to normal but you will still need reading glasses but they refuse to cover the lens that could completely restore your eyesight and you won't need reading glasses. Do you know if there is any place that helps people receive funding for this particular eye lens when they cant afford them
@temtationeyes
@temtationeyes Год назад
Insurance covers only basic lenses. Most people choose distance & need glasses for close & intermediate (computer). Some people extend the range through mono vision, one lens close & one far. It’s still covered cause it’s basic lenses, but it’s important to talk to the Dr about adjusting to this. I just had cataract surgery & will need glasses for near-but that’s fine with me.

I’ve been struggling with my eyes heavily since I developed a floater in 2018 . It’s non stop issues and every scan I’ve had is normal for MS or stroke . I had my nerves looked at at my regular eye Dr , he saw nothing except 3 different types of floaters in each eye . Now I need to see a neuro ophthalmologist for some 4 hour long eye exam and get my eyes dilated . Last time I had my eyes dilated & eye pressure checked at my regular eye doc it triggered my occular / aura migraines I’ve had since 5th grade . I only would get these once or twice a year sometimes every two years . It literally started in the office I couldn’t even drive home . I suffered several more aura migraines after that and had to take 6 triptans in a year . I’ve never had to use that many in my life . Yet , everything is normal . I just don’t understand.
