Talks from the Birdshot Symposium September 2013

Below are links to the different talks which were given at the 2013 Birdshot Symposium, hosted by Stephen Foster from the Ocular Immunology and Uveitis Foundation in Boston USA.  Its a terrific resource of talks given by specialists from across the world, which you can dip into if you want to find out more and  hear what the experts have to say.  Note:  they are aimed at doctors not patients so they are quite technical and detailed so will probably be better watched in separate sessions.  They  are posted on the Ocular Immunology and Uveitis Foundation website:http://www.uveitis.org/video/
