“…Significantly higher rates of ocular complications and disease association were reported by Sainz de la Maza et al 5 Their study reported ocular complications in 19% of patients with episcleritis and 45% of patients with scleritis, including uveitis (16.5% and 26.4%, respectively). In the study by Wieringa et al, 7 88 patients (84.6%) had ocular complications indicating a high frequency of the occurrence of ocular complications associated with ocular inflammatory disease, such as scleritis. Similar to systemic disease associations, the rates of ocular complications in this study are likely less because of referral bias in the studies published before this one.…”
