Abstract | PURPOSE: METHODS: We reviewed 198 charts of rheumatoid arthritis patients followed-up from 2003 to 2006. They were studied for: prevalence of ophthalmologic manifestations, autoantibody profile, demographic data and Steinbrock's functional index. RESULTS: CONCLUSION: Secondary Sjögren syndrome was the most common ocular manifestation in patients with RA, mainly in women and patients with greater joint damage.
