Allergic Disorders of the Ocular Surface (Hardcover)

This is a textbook for students and practitioners involved in the management of patients with ocular allergy. Allergic disorders of the ocular surface affect more than 20% of the general population and they are ocular diseases in which IgE- and/or T-lymphocyte mediated mechanisms are involved. They can have a significant impact on an individual's quality of life. This book addresses the important aspects of allergic disorders of the ocular surface with particular emphasis on the pathomechanism and pharmacotherapy of the different types of ocular allergy. The cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the pathomechanism of allergic eye diseases, as well as the lymphocytic activation process are also discussed. The book will provide the reader with considerable insight into the pharmacotherapy of allergic eye diseases with emphasis on the clinical pharmacology of anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory pharmaceutical agents.
