Full Description
Rheumatologists routinely express a desire for a better understanding of ophthalmology to enhance their care of patients whose rheumatologic diseases manifest with ophthalmic complications. Ophthalmologists feel the same, seeking to understand the systemic impacts that autoimmune diseases have for their patients. As part of the Interdisciplinary Rheumatology book series, Interdisciplinary Rheumatology: Rheumatology and Ophthalmology is a dialogue between expert rheumatologists and ophthalmologists that provides readers with the skills to diagnose and manage a range of inflammatory eye conditions in patients with both systemic rheumatic and ocular-limited disease. With knowledge from this book, rheumatologists and ophthalmologists will be better able to collaborate effectively in the care of these complex patients.
