Anterior Chamber and Retina (Structure, Function and Immunology)

The goals of this chapter are to review the anatomy of the eye and its immune response, focusing on the anterior and posterior segments. Anterior segment diseases with known immune system involvement include keratitis, uveitis, dry-eye syndromes, uveal melanoma, and allograft rejection following corneal transplantation. Posterior segment diseases with immune system involvement include age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, chorioretinal disorders and autoimmune retinopathies including cancer and melanoma associated retinopathies.
