Abstract

Eales' disease is an extremely uncommon vasoproliferative retinal disease predominantly affecting otherwise healthy young men. The etiology of this condition is unknown, but its progression and clinical appearance are similar to other vasoproliferative diseases of the retina such as diabetic and sickle cell retinopathies. These similarities make Eales' disease a good prospect for inclusion in a model pattern of retinal ischemic disease and suggest that treatment by panretinal photocoagulation should be effective in this condition. We had good results in treating eight eyes diagnosed as having Eales' disease with scattered laser photocoagulation.
