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.
