    Esta obra aborda numerosas cuestiones relacionadas con la uveítis y sus complicaciones, así como de otros trastornos inflamatorios relacionados. Los autores identifican los procesos fisiopatológicos generales y específicos que afectan a la estructura y función de la úvea, el cristalino, las cavidades intraoculares, la retina y otros tejidos en la inflamación intraocular crónica y aguda. La selección de las técnicas de exploración adecuadas es necesaria para poder posteriormente seleccionar pruebas complementarias de interés, de ahí que se haga especial hincapié en este tema. El diagnóstico diferencial juega un papel importante en las inflamaciones oculares, y por ello esta obra proporciona las herramientas necesarias para que el oftalmólogo llegue a un diagnóstico preciso. En la obra se describen también los principios del tratamiento farmacológico y quirúrgico de las uveítis infecciosas y no infecciosas, así como de la inflamación intraocular asociada, incluidas las indicaciones de los fármacos inmunodepresores y las posibles complicaciones relacionadas con los mismos.
