Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Diana V. Do, MD (Stanford University School of Medicine)
Description: This interesting book describes important aspects of uveitis that will help trainees and physicians alike understand the uveal diseases and enable ophthalmologists to make better clinical judgments.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide a general overview and quick reference on the diseases of the uvea. The book appears to meets these objectives.
Audience: The purpose is to provide a general overview and quick reference on the diseases of the uvea. The book appears to meets these objectives.
Features: This book covers a majority of the uveal diseases in a simplified manner. It also includes images for each pathology, which helps in understanding. However, some other pathologies causing uveal diseases like VKH, other autoimmune diseases, and some infectious causes are not covered, which could have helped the intended readers. Each chapter presents representative images, but the quality could be improved.
Assessment: This is a helpful read for students, trainees, and physicians who want to learn about uveitis. However, it does not go into a lot of detail which may limit the use to budding physicians.
