 Has anyone ever had any problems with their eyes because they were on Plaquenil? Just curious but not George...LOL
From the last time I was on I was told by my gynecologist that I had endometriosis and I had to have a D&C and a new procedure called Novasure.

 I have a hard time focusing and my eyes are really dry all the time.

But I dont know if it is from the Plaquenil or the disease itself.

I finally had to start using my glasses instead of my contacts because it got so bad. I went to the eyedoctor and he said I have lost the ability to focus and that I need to get bifocals.

 I have a hard time focusing at night and my eyes are really dry but that from the Sjorgens for me. Have they ever checked to see if you have that. They diagnosed me with it when my contacts kept getting infected after six months. The doctor checked and that's what I had.

 I just had my eye exam. I complained about the trouble focussing and seeing at night. My eye Dr. assured me that it is normal for many people ( around age 40) to get that and it's not the Plaquenil. I'm very good about the 6-month check-ups.
