Advances in the understanding of the pathogenetic mechanismsinvolved in uveitis and uveoretinitis led to theintroduction of various new therapeuticmodalities for thesediseases, thus raising the need for a comprehensive andreproducible standard scoring system. This monograph is theend result of extensive studies and presents a universalgrading system that reflects both intraocular inflammatoryactivity and visual acuity and can beused as a standardmeans of classification throughout the world.

Diabeticretinopathy, corneal neovascularization, age-related macular degeneration, retinal veinocclusion, andretinopathy of prematurity are major causes of blindness.

However,itbecameevident that direct closureofthenewvesselsand/orablationoflargepartsof thetissuearenotidealsolutionstotheproblem. Recent advances in molecular biology and genetic engineering have fosteredbasic knowledge regarding the growth factors and intercellular messengers and their association with theproliferationofnew blood vessels. These latter findings sparked a renewed interest in Michaelson's "X-factor" ofocular neovascularization and opened avenues for possible innovative therapeutic approaches.Therefore, the suggestion to organize an international gathering of clinicians and scientists interested in problems of ocular circulation and neovascularization was received with great enthusiasm. Unanimously,it wasdecidedtodedicatethe symposium to Professor I.C. Michaelson, theinnovativescientist, the greatclinician, theindefatigableteacher, andaboveall, thewonderfulhumanbeing. The meeting was highlighted by the outstanding atmosphere of friendshipandscientif*ic exchanges. This book mirrors the information delivered and includes a selectionofpapersfromthescientificprogram.
