Ask rheumatologists what one thing that they most desire is and they will say: I wish I knew more about ophthalmology so I could care for patients whose rheumatologic diseases manifest with ophthalmic complications. Ophthalmologists feel just the same, seeking to understand the implications that autoimmune diseases have for their patients. As part of the Interdisciplinary Rheumatology book series, this book is a dialogue between rheumatologists and ophthalmologists providing a masterclass from world-renowned experts. Led by a team of international editors with in-depth knowledge and cutting-edge research on topics like vasculitis and systemic lupus erythematous, among others.
