Recenzje

"Intraocular Inflammation is an encyclopedic treatise on uveitis. ... The authors walk us through all the nuances of ocular inflammatory diseases, making this an excellent go-to book for doctors working in this subspecialty. It would also be useful for general ophthalmologists looking for 'in-depth' reading on a particular condition." (Zaria Ali, Eye News, Vol. 25 (2), August-September, 2018)
