This edition of The Sclera and Systemic Disorders fills that gap by bringing together the current information about the diagnosis, the investigation, the physiology pathology and treatment of these complex conditions. Diseases of the sclera are relatively uncommon but will be seen by all ophthalmologists and most physicians managing patients with connective tissue disease. Unfortunately the diagnosis is often missed, particularly in young patients, leading to severe complications. In addition, scleritis is often a presenting sign of underlying and potentially fatal systemic disease. Early, accurate diagnosis and swift intervention are vital. Written by world-renowned experts in the field, The Sclera and Systemic Disorders Third Edition enables ophthalmologists and rheumatologists to differentiate between the scleral disorders and implement timely treatment plans based on current best practice and available evidence. Extensive updates to the text reflect the advances that have occurred in investigation and treatment of scleral disease since the second edition. Many new and replacement images, particularly of anterior segment OCT which is being adapted to investigate scleral disease with stunning results. Over one thousand carefully selected new references to relevant key review and research papers.
