Product Description

Uveitis and immune-mediated disorders encompass a wide spectrum of potentially blinding diseases that are seen in daily practice by many ophthalmologists. In recent years enormous progress has been made in understanding 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 the ophthalmologist with the most current understanding of the pathogenesis of the most frequent immune-mediated disorders of the eye and a practical approach to these diseases.

Uveitis and Immunological Disorders
