Preface
Ocular inflammation is not at all romantic. In fact, few ophthalmologists like it at all. Even fewer choose to devote careers studying the subject and caring for patients with it. Those who have invested their intellect, time, and energy in the conception of this work are the unusual few who derive great pleasure from diagnosing and treating ocular inflammatory diseases. It is our hope that this book can help other eye care professionals in taking on the challenge of managing patients with uveitis. Waltham, MA, USA
