ABSTRACT
Eales’ disease is an idiopathic peripheral vascular occlusive disease characterized by inflammation, ischemia, and abnormal retinal vascularization. It primarily affects healthy young adults and typically manifests bilaterally. Diagnosis is mainly clinical; however, it requires exclusion of other systemic infections and ocular conditions. Recurrent vitreous hemorrhage is a hallmark of this condition. Early treatment significantly improves visual prognosis. Herein, we report a case series of patients diagnosed in Northeast Brazil.
