摘要:
The eye enjoys a privileged immunological status, in contrast to most sites in the body. Historically, it was thought that the eye, due to its lack of lymphatics, was not subject to the same immune surveillance as other tissues.

The immunology of the eye is now known to consist of a myriad of local and systemic effects.
