 Dear Colleagues,

 In this issue of eye Insights, we take a close look at posterior uveitis. Inside, you’ll find techniques and tips for evaluating and managing patients with this condition.

 Due to its many etiologies, posterior uveitis can be challenging to treat until the cause of the inflammation is identified. Therefore, we have included some helpful guidelines and risk factors to aid in distinguishing the root cause.

 Once posterior uveitis is suspected, referral to a specialist is recommended. For a list of doctors who specialize in treating posterior uveitis, please visit the online [American Academy of Ophthalmology directory](https://secure.aao.org/aao/find-ophthalmologist).

 We hope you find this issue of eye Insights useful in your practice. Back issues are available online at masseyeandear.org. If you have questions or comments, please email us at <eyeinsights@meei.harvard.edu>.
