Our mission is to educate patients and their significant others about ocular inflammatory disease and to facilitate the exchange of information, emotional support, and mutual aid between members. Even more surprising than the association between arthritis and eye inflammation, at least to some people, is the association between bowel inflammation and eye inflammation. But history tells us that such an association exists. This may be true not only in infectious inflammatory bowel disease, as in the case of Whipple s disease, but also in inflammatory bowel disease generally considered to be autoimmune. Additionally, one of the more effective medications for control of the inflammatory bowel disease activity, Sulfasalazine, has proven to be, in our hands and in those of others, particularly disappointing in controlling the recurrent episodes of uveitis in patients with inflammatory bowel disease-associated uveitis.
