Ocular manifestations occur in 4-12% of patients with
IBD
. Uveitis and
iritis
are more frequently associated with ulcerative colitis while episcleritis is more common in Crohn's disease. Some ocular manifestations in
IBD
can be secondary to treatment and/or effects of the intestinal disease itself. The specific management of ocular manifestations in
IBD
requires the use of topical steroids and FANS, cycloplegics, systemic steroids or immunosuppressive drugs. When conventional therapies fail to control the ocular manifestations in
IBD
, the new biologic drugs can be considered as good alternative treatments. Early diagnosis and effective treatment may avoid the onset of severe and sometimes persisting complications. In some cases, a surgical approach is required to treat eye complications, i.e. cataract, and to improve the patient's quality of life.
