Intraocular Inflammation 

Inflammation within the eye causes damage to the vascular endothelium of the intraocular vessels with consequentbreakdown of the blood-ocular barriers and exudation of leucocytes and proteins into the eye. Intraocular infections areuncommon but are potentially devastating to the vision and to the eye. There is a broad range of pathogens that can causeinfection in the eye. Intraocular infections can be grouped into two categories: exogenous or endogenous. This bookprovides very challenging diagnostic dilemmas which are difficult to manage. Despite advances in anti-inflammatory andimmunomodulatory therapy, permanent structural changes can occur in the eye because of intraocular inflammation orinfection.These are best managed with surgery. All this is described in this book.This book also explains modern treatment ofthe inflammations and infections, which involves novel drug therapy and retina-vitreous surgical procedures. The text iswritten in an easy-to-follow style and illustrated with photographs, and diagrams. The chapters have been written by therenowned and internationally established experts. Physicians, surgeons, students and readers will find this book valuable.
