Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having lichen morphea.
This will not affect the eyes directly but it can be associated with conditions like inflammation of the eye.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Hope this is helpful to you.

Do write back yo me for further questions.

Thank you
With regards
I find this answer helpful
