Abstract:
cases of vitreous haemorrhage secondary to Eales′ disease were selected for vitrectomy. According to the duration of vitreous haemorrhage, the patients were divided into two groups : Group 1 (20 eyes)-early vitrectomy group with a duration between 3 to 6 months; Group 2(20 eyes)-deferred vitrectomy group with a duration of more than 6 months . All the patients were followed up for a minimum period of 3 months following vitrectomy. The eyes in Group 1 showed a preoperative ultrasonic picture of complete posterior detachment, a final visual acuity of 0.6 or better in 13(65%) was achieved in mild vitreous organization on kinetic echography. Poor visual outcome in the deferred group was secondary to cystoid macular oedema, macular scar, macular pucker formation and macular degeneration. Improved visual outcome in the early vitrectomy group is probably due to haemorrhage and its products which have no time to damage the macula and to advance into macular traction and cystoid macular oedema.
