2. Introduction Connective tissue disease refers to a group of disorders involving the protein-rich tissue that supports organs and other parts of the body. Examples of connective tissue are fat, bone, and cartilage. These disorders often involve the joints, muscles, and skin, but they can also involve other organs and organ systems, including the eyes, heart, lungs, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, and blood vessels.
3. • Many connective tissue diseases have abnormal immune system activity with inflammation in tissues as a result of an immune system that is directed against one’s own body tissues (autoimmunity). • Ocular inflammation is seen as part of a number of systemic diseases with autoimmune processes heading the list. Inflammation can affect any part of the eye starting from the cornea anteriorly to the retina, uveal tract and sclera posteriorly. • In some conditions, uveitis or scleritis is the heralding presentation and in others it determines the need for more aggressive immunosuppressive therapy.
4. The incidence, severity, and disease course of uveitis and scleritis are variable with many factors contributing to the natural history of the disease, including gender, the underlying systemic disease, and the extent of the inflammatory process.
