title: An ophthalmic study of ibuprofen in rheumatoid conditions.
abstract: A total of 247 patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and allied conditions were referred for routine ophthalmological examination with particular reference to ocular rheumatoid involvement.

All patients were examined on at least two occasions. No macular lesions were discovered which could be directly attributed to ibuprofen therapy.
