    Scleritis, an inflammation of the white outer layer of the eye, frequently involves deeper ocular structures. This can lead to uveitis, increasing the risk of vision loss.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Scleritis can involve deeper ocular structures, leading to uveitis.
    • The pathogenesis of sclero-uveitis involves complex immunological reactions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the association between scleritis and intraocular inflammation (uveitis).
    • To elucidate the immunological basis of sclero-uveitis.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical examination of 350 eyes with scleritis.
    • Histopathological review of 100 globes.
    • Analysis of immunological reactions in sclero-uveitis.

    Main Results:

    • Iridocyclitis (anterior uveitis) was observed in 42% of clinical cases and 63% of histopathological cases of scleritis.

  • Choroiditis (posterior uveitis) was found in 12% of clinical cases and 62% of histopathological cases.
  • Host immune response to antigens dictates the severity of scleral inflammation and uveal vasculitis.

    • Conclusions:

    • Iridocyclitis accompanying scleritis suggests extension of vasculitis to inner ocular structures.
    • This extension is an ominous sign, indicating potential complications and progressive visual loss.
