Description
An illustrated comprehensive text on the diagnosis and management of uveitis and other inflammatory diseases of the eye ball. This book will provide a comprehensive, didactic, up-to-date and well-illustrated approach to the diagnosis and management of intraocular inflammatory disease. It is primarily aimed at those who are directly involved in the management of affected patients (ie trained ophthalmologists) but will also be of interest to ophthalmologists in training. This manual contains detailed, practical advice on the direct management of patients, and contains guidelines on the principles of management for a whole range of inflammatory conditions and their complications. Its well-illustrated and clear format makes this book one of the most useful and attractive in its field.
