Abstract
Scleritis is a common disease associated with various systemic disorders. We report a case of nodular scleritis with Hepatitis B infection, who presented with pain and watering of left.eye. We highlight this case because of the high infectivity of Hepatitis B virus via tears and we emphasize the importance of universal precaution to be implemented in our day-to-day practice.
