ABSTRACT
One hundred and seven patients of definite rheumatoid arthritis were screened for the presence of ocular manifestations of which 21 (19.63%) were observed to have ocular changes. Of these keratoconjunctivitis sicca in 19 (17.7%) patients and episcleritis in one (0.93%) were attributable to rheumatoid arthritis. Bilateral retinal haemorrhage in one patient was due to grade 3 hypertensive retinopathy. Absence of posterior subcapsular cataract in 106 (99.06%) patients who did not receive corticosteroids supports the hypothesis that steroids are the aetiologic agents and not rheumatoid arthritis.
