The data was picked up in a survey validated by experts. Variables of clinical characterization were considered as: ophthalmological manifestations and time of evolution of the rheumatic illness and age and sex were biological. For the the data processing descriptive statistics was used for the distribution of absolute and relative frequencies. Results: dry queratoconjuntivitis was the most frequent ophthalmological manifestation, followed by Sjögren’s syndrome in order of frequency by and epiescleritis. Uveitis, escleritis and cataract were less frequent. Female sex prevailed; patients between 40 and 59 years were more affected, as well as those that had between 5 and 9 years of evolution of the rheumatic disease. Conclusions: ophthalmological manifestations of the AR were frequent, dry queratoconjuntivitis, the syndrome of Sjögren and the epiescleritis stood out.
