Eales Disease

Eales disease, first described by Henry in 1880, constitutes an idiopathic occlusive retinal vasculopathy apparently multifactorial, and with a likely immunologic origin, which mainly affects the peripheral retina bilaterally young patients predominantly males. Most cases are asymptomatic early stages of disease however, course floaters blurry vision arise hemorrhages lead to significant visual loss. The clinical appearance depends on nonperfusion neovascularization that follow perivasculitis. Visual loss is commonly due vitreous hemorrhage tractional detachment. Routine biochemical tests, fundus fluorescein angiography, widefield optical coherence tomography, tomography ultrasound used diagnosis disease. Corticosteroids, immunosuppressive agents, laser photocoagulation, intravitreal triamcinolone, anti-VEGF injections, vitrectomy treatment modalities.
