Synopsis:

This accessible, jargon-free guide to uveitis for non-specialists explains how to diagnose and manage inflammatory eye disease in practical, easy-to-understand language. The book describes how to differentiate between the various inflammatory eye diseases, which investigations to choose, how to interpret the results and how best to manage immunosuppression in these patients. Updated to reflect the newest findings and practices in the field, such as practical biologic therapy, recently approved steroid injections and intraocular pressure control in uveitis, this book makes this fascinating subject accessible to the non-uveitis specialists.
