Rheumatic diseases are associated with a significant decline in quality of life, which is not only related to the progression of the underlying disease but also to the development of coexisting conditions. One of the possible complications in this group of diseases is ocular involvement. Impaired vision is strongly associated with a significant decline in quality of life and can also exacerbate problems related to physical functioning. Consequently, it can lead to serious complications in the treatment of the underlying disease. Additionally, from a clinical point of view, it is also important to note that ocular diseases may precede the occurrence of inflammatory joint and spinal diseases, as well as organ involvement in systemic connective tissue disorders. Therefore, paying attention to ocular symptoms can help in early diagnosis and thus improve patient prognosis. For the aforementioned reasons, ocular diseases should be carefully considered in routine rheumatologic practice.
风湿性疾病与生活质量的显著下降相关，这不仅与基础疾病的进展有关，还与并存疾病的发展有关。这类疾病可能的并发症之一是眼部受累。视力受损与生活质量的显著下降密切相关，还会加剧与身体功能相关的问题。因此，它可能导致基础疾病治疗中出现严重并发症。此外，从临床角度来看，还需注意眼部疾病可能先于炎性关节和脊柱疾病的发生，以及系统性结缔组织疾病中的器官受累情况。所以，关注眼部症状有助于早期诊断，从而改善患者预后。基于上述原因，在常规风湿病诊疗中应仔细考虑眼部疾病。
