Eales’ disease most commonly affects healthy young adults, with a male predominance and bilateral involvement in 90% of cases.5 This indicates the importance of a thorough dilated fundus examination in the fellow eye of an Eales’ patient even if it is asymptomatic. The most common presenting complaints in Eales’ disease are floaters and a painless decrease in vision Eales’.6In our study population, decreased vision was the most common finding (40%) as these were cases that were referred for further management.

Eales’ disease is a bilateral idiopathic obliterative vasculitis in young adults that primarily affects the peripheral retina.1 Though Eales’ disease remains a diagnosis of exclusion, various authors have suggested a possible association of tuberculosis in patients with Eales’ disease. An association of systemic tuberculosis was found in 6.2–35% patients with Eales disease and incidence of Mantoux positivity among patients with Eales’ disease has been reported in up to 98% patients.2

Eales’ disease is an idiopathic inflammatory vaso-proliferative disorder that primarily affects the peripheral retina of healthy young adults, mostly males. Eales’ disease is a diagnosis of exclusion and is particularly common in the Indian subcontinent with an estimated incidence of 1 in 200–250 ophthalmic patients.1
