Experience of scleritis and episcleritis at a tertiary center in Southern Taiwan

Conclusion Scleritis occurred in a more elderly population. It was more frequently associated with ocular complications, compared to episcleritis. Both CSNIS and CSIS were associated with a history of pterygium excisional surgery. Our series of patients had a high occurrence of necrotizing scleritis. All cases of necrotizing scleritis were associated with a history of previous ocular surgery.
