scleritis is inflammation of the sclera, the tough white outer coat of the eye. It is most often discussed in ophthalmology and optometry because it can be painful and sometimes threatens vision. scleritis can be linked to systemic (whole-body) inflammatory or autoimmune disease, but it can also occur without a known cause. The term is used clinically to describe a specific pattern of deep eye-wall inflammation that needs careful evaluation.
