‘Sclera’ provides the reader with a practical approach to the assessment and management of scleral disease. After outlining the relevant anatomy and physiology of this structure, the chapter addresses the key clinical presentations arising from scleral disease, notably episcleritis, anterior scleritis and posterior scleritis. Using a patient-centred approach the key clinical features, investigations and treatment (medical and surgical) are described for each condition. Emphasis is given to the possible association with systemic disease, and the need for appropriate investigation.

‘Uveitis’ provides the reader with a practical approach to the assessment and management of this group of intraocular inflammatory conditions. After outlining the relevant anatomy and physiology of the uveal tract, the chapter addresses the key clinical presentations of uveitic diseases before discussing each syndrome in more detail. Using a patient-centred approach the key clinical features, investigations and treatment (medical and surgical) are described for each condition. Emphasis is given to the association of some forms of uveitis with systemic disease, and the need for appropriate investigation.
