Dear Colleagues:

Thus far in the 2011 update to our series of monographs, we have examined ocular allergy, conjunctivitis and dry eye. As the others in this series did for the aforementioned ocular surface disease states, this monograph will comprehensively review new and existing information as it relates to the understanding and management of keratitis. It also offers a consensus on the most effective ways to address and manage this condition.

This series has been made possible because of the generous support of Bausch + Lomb. The next and last installment in this series will provide an in-depth look at a new topic, nutrition, by a fresh panel of doctors.
