I have had two cataracts removed about 4 1/2 years before being diagnosed with spondylitis. I had no pain in my eyes, just foggy vision (like looking through misted (or iced up) windows).

I just knew something wasn't right so I went to my ophthalmologist the next day and they discovered the torn retina. Laser surgery was immediate. 1 year to the date later my other eye retina torn. I can see but I have had multiple laser and eye surgery. The AS and rheumatoid arthritis are connected. It just has been frustrating and depressing at times.
Do you ever feel a sharp pain in your eye? & if so what did you do and what happened after?
