Narsing A. Rao, MD, is professor of ophthalmology and director of the Uveitis Service and the Ophthalmic Pathology Laboratory at USC. He is involved in the treatment of inflammatory ocular diseases affecting the uveal tract, vitreous, retina, and sclera. Dr. Rao has published over 440 peer-reviewed papers in clinical and basic science findings and has received numerous honors and awards for his research endeavors on ocular inflammatory diseases from Research to Prevent Blindness and the National Institute of Health. He delivered several named lectures, both national and international, including visiting professorship at Harvard University, Johns Hopkins University, Yale University, University of Paris, France, Moorefields Eye Institute, London, University of Rome, Italy, Tokyo Medical University, Kyushu University in Fukoka, Japan, and University of Sydney.
For his outstanding contributions to ophthalmology, he was awarded the Lorenz E. Zimmerman medal from American Academy of Ophthalmology, the Ramon L. Font medal from Pan American Society of Ophthalmology, the International Ocular Inflammation Society Award, and received an award from European Vision and Eye Research Association in 2006. Dr. Rao was also the recipient of the prestigious Bietti medal from International Council of Ophthalmology.

"This book is a very worthwhile endeavor, indeed, as uveitis accounts for a significant proportion of preventable blindness despite its relative rarity as a condition in the field of ophthalmology. This book is written for ophthalmologists who wish to increase their knowledge about uveitis. As the field is constantly growing, ophthalmologists do need a nearly constant stream of updates, and books such as this fulfill that need." (Diana V Do, Doody's Book Reviews, July 12, 2019)
