Abstract:
39 cases (49 eyes) with retinal periphlebitis (Eales' disease) were treated by laser photocoagulation and followed up for 3～64 months, averaging 17 months. The visual acuity improved in 29 eyes (59.1％), remained unaltered 15 eyes (30.7％),and diminished in 5 eyes (10.2％). The results showed that laser photocoagulation was effective and safe for the treatment of Eales' disease. The importance of early diagnosis, early treatment, periodical follow-up and the use of corticosteroids were discussed.
