Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating: - The most comprehensive book on uveitis
There are shorter and easier books to read than this one. The problem is after reading them you still know very little about uveitis. Foster's book is the most comprehensive review on uveitis today. It should be a required reading for all ophthalmologists planning to specilalize in retina and uveitis. I bought this book on Amazon 3 years ago and come back to it with pleasure every time finding it more useful and practical than any other uveitis literature I have.
