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.
