The aim of the conference is to highlight how specialists in the field recognize and manage various prominent forms of ocular inflammatory disease and provide a setting for discussion for ophthalmologists, pediatricians, rheumatologists, patients and caregivers. Prevention of complications from disease has become the focus of modern medicine, and leads to better outcomes in patients, especially in ophthalmology. Many ocular diseases eventually lead to blindness, but some vision loss can be avoided by timely presentation to and management by a well-trained physician/ophthalmologist and informed patient and or caregiver, awareness and recognition of these diseases when they present, as well as the implementation of early steps in treatment or prompt referral, is critical to minimizing or preventing permanent complications from ocular Inflammatory disease.
