This study evaluated visual outcomes in Eales' disease using a new classification system. Treatment significantly improved vision in most stages, offering insights for patient care and health policy.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Retinal Diseases
  • Vascular Retinopathies

Background:

  • Eales' disease is a retinal vasculitis with varied presentations and visual prognoses.
  • Limited data exists on the effectiveness of treatments across different stages of Eales' disease.
  • A novel classification system was developed to stage Eales' disease progression.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the visual outcomes in Eales' disease using a newly proposed classification system.
  • To assess the impact of various treatments on visual acuity across different disease stages.
  • To provide evidence for optimizing patient care and health policies for Eales' disease.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective study of 159 consecutive Eales' disease cases at a tertiary care center.

  • Eyes were staged using a new classification system (Stages 1-4) based on disease manifestations.
  • Visual acuity was graded and analyzed statistically following medical therapy, photocoagulation, and/or vitreoretinal surgery.

    • Main Results:

    • Vitreous hemorrhage was the most frequent presenting symptom (49.32%).
    • Significant visual acuity improvement was observed in Stages 1b, 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b, and 4a.
    • Final visual acuities varied by stage, with Stages 1-3 and 4a generally achieving better outcomes than Stage 4b.

    Conclusions:

    • Treatment leads to significant visual improvement in the majority of Eales' disease stages.
    • The new classification system aids in understanding treatment efficacy across disease progression.
    • Findings contribute to the limited evidence base and can inform clinical practice and health policy.
