We have done a retrospective review of case records of patients with Auto immune inflammatory diseases (AIIRD) who attended a rheumatology clinic and analysed the ocular complications due to the AIIRD. Various ocular complications due to AIIRDs have been noted and literature review was done. There were 502 patients with AIIRD out of which 34 patients had ocular complications. Patients with Rheumatoid arthritis had dry eye disease as the commonest presentation. Acute anterior uveitis was seen 10% of patients with spondyloarthropathy. None of our patients with Psoriatic arthritis had ocular manifestation.
