Uveitis
Courtesy of Ocular Care Journal we have made available a useful paper by Stephen D. Anesi, MD, and C. Stephen Foster, MD which looks at the causes, diagnosis and treatment of anterior uveitis and associated conditions such as: iritis, cataract, glaucoma and anterior chamber cell and flare. This paper is an invaluable read and the main reason we include the 1mm square aperture on our PSL (Portable Slit Lamp) and the Symphony Slit Lamp.
It is revealed that a slit lamp examination alone can uncover subtle findings that may tip the scale when weighing the evidence for uveitis diagnosis.
