Connective tissue disorders have well-known ocular associations that may be presenting features of the disease or occur as complications during the course of the disorder. Keratoconjunctivitis sicca, keratitis, scleritis, uveitis, retinal vasculitis, choroidopathy, and their associations with rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, psoriatic arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and polymyositis are reviewed.
