Uveitis is the most common extraarticular manifestation of AS. It is often unilateral, but bilateral uveitis also occurs. Attacks are usually somewhat acute in onset; however, a minority of patients may present with chronic symptoms of blurring and ocular hyperemia.

Conjunctivitis and scleritis are infrequent ocular manifestations of AS.
