Eye problems for 5 months
Anyone run into weird eye issues with crohns?? This has been a ongoing issue for 5 months now. I went away for a weekend in October & my eyes all of a sudden started burning and were so painful. Since then, I’ve had red, watery eyes (sometimes just one, sometimes both) it feels like dryness and heaviness and it’s painful. Went to see my optometrist & ophthalmologists who keep diagnosing me with bilateral conjunctivitis but the eye drops they give me do nothing. I also went to my GI specialist & she took me off of imuran thinking it would heal whatever is wrong w my eyes. I got bloodwork and found out I have extremely low vitamin D because of crohns, but no other indicators.
Super worried about my eyes 😣 anyone experiencing anything like this?
