Dear Soso,
Thank you for your question and for joining EmpowHER. As I found out from doing a quick search on the website, eye problems is not uncommon in Lupus. It can be indicative of kidney damage. You definitely may want to get in to see your doctor to rule out additional complications of your Lupus. Your doctor can tell you for sure the root of the problem for your eyes and prescribe the right treatment.
For more information, check out this article: How Lupus Affects Eyes.
Good luck, and let us know how you're doing.
