People often associate Crohn's disease with intestinal problems, but Crohn's is an autoimmune disorder and can cause inflammation in other parts of the body, including the eyes. Eye problems most often occur in people who also have Crohn's related arthritis. December 1st-7th is Crohn's and Colitis Awareness week in the US.
