Usually Ulcerative Colitis affects the colon and rectum, and I have felt its effects over the last couple of years, but recently my eyes have been feeling inflammed as well. I do not know if there is any connection, but they are exteremely itchy and red. has anyone else had a similar experience, should I be worried ?
