Uveitis : Fundamentals and Clinical Practice.

Actually I am in my third year of residency in ophthalmology,I had the chance to attend to the annual meeting of the opthalmology society in my city, it was an extraordinary opportunity in many instances, I met to several subspecialists in my profession one of them gave us a conference about uveitis it was so interesting like the simplicity to speak about subjects that are "difficult to learn", I waited at the final of the conference to talk to the doctor and he kindly told me and show me his secret... the book Uveitis: Fundamental and Clinical Practice, I had already the chance to read a couple of chapters of this book and its certanly unvaluable. I truly recomend this book to each one of the beginning residents.
