Hi Anon,
Thank you for your question. Lupus itself is not know to cause any visual changes other than perhaps eye dryness. However, some of your medications can cause visual changes as adverse effects of the medication.
Plaquenil, for example, is known to have possible unwanted effects on your vision. It is important for you to contact your doctor if you begin experiencing any of the following symptoms:
reading or seeing difficulties (words, letters, or parts of objects missing)
sensitivity to light
blurred distance vision
seeing light flashes or streaks
difficulty hearing
ringing in ears
muscle weakness
bleeding or bruising of the skin
bleaching or loss of hair
mood or mental changes
irregular heartbeat
drowsiness
convulsions
Does this help? Please keep us updated,
Rosa
