Hi there, to chime in with eye experience:
I had scleritis when I was first diagnosed.
I got it again, and when my normal ophthalmologist was looking, she got suddenly worried and sent me straight to a retina specialist. Turns out I have a "retinal vein occlusion", which to me (looking at the pictures on the screen) looks like one of the veins at the back of my eye exploded. They think that it associated with either Wegener's or prednisone and have monitored it for months, but it has not change.
I also have a cataract from prednisone, which makes my vision a little blurry.
This study says that "Ocular manifestations occur in 30–50% of [Wegener's] patients".
Good luck!!
