Recognizing the Nine Indicators of Crohn's Disease

8. Pain in the Eyes

Pain in the eyes usually accompanies Crohn's disease. If left untreated, these vision problems can result in permanent damaging results, such as permanent blindness. A condition known as episcleritis damages the white portion of the eye. This can cause uveitis or sclera, eye-related conditions which cause eye aches and blurry vision. Inflammation causes both of these diseases. This is why Crohn's disease can lead to loss of vision as well as swelling in the eye.
