Uveitis and immune-mediated disorders encompass a wide spectrum of
potentially blinding diseases that ophthalmologists see in daily
practice. Recent years have seen enormous progress in understanding of
the principal mechanisms of inflammatory and immunological processes in
ocular disorders. The purpose of this second Uveitis volume of the
Essentials in Ophthalmology series is to provide ophthalmologists with
the most current understanding of the pathogenesis of common
immune-mediated disorders of the eye and a practical approach to these
diseases. The book fills the gap between textbooks and original research
publications, focuses on clinical aspects of inflammatory eye diseases,
covers a broad spectrum of disease including those affecting the
conjunctiva, sclera and cornea, as well as intraocular inflammation. The
format is quick and easy to read with highly structured core messages
and summaries for the clinician. This publication serves not only as a
valuable source of up-to-date information for ophthalmologists but will
also interest pediatricians, specialists in internal medicine and
dermatologists confronted with inflammatory eye diseases.
