My eyes have been very dry and itchy for a few weeks now, I have an appointment with my GP on Wednesday about it, but just wondered if it was connected to stelara as a side effect. Anyone ever experienced this?

I've been on Stelara over 6 years and not experienced any difference in dry eyes that I could pinpoint to being a result of Stelara, and as far as I know it's not a known problem.
But I would still mention it at your appointment as it's best to keep your dermatologist in the loop.

Dry eyeballs, no.
Dry skin around the eyes, yes. Also, I have dry skin on the side's of my nose. I use bio oil, literally a film of it on my finger tip and then I rub it into the area's around my eyes etc Amanda. It works a treat ![]() Hope that helps you ??? ![]()

Not had any eye problems with the Stelara in fact I have had very little problems with it but at the moment I am taking a few notes over the 12 weeks as I may have noticed some minor things that occur around the same time in each 12 week period .

I done that when I was on cyclosporine. Ended up being really useful as I noticed that the flare ups would restart every 4 weeks.
I'll give the bio oil a try for the eyes ![]() |
