Purpose

To study the risk for eye diseases in individuals with Ulcerative Colitis (UC), and to assess whether silica dust-exposure could contribute to the development of inflammatory eye diseases.

Conclusion

UC is associated with an increased risk for eye diseases, including inflammatory conditions. Our findings highlight that silica dust-exposure may be of importance in the pathogenesis of uveitis.
