Abstract

Eales’ disease is an idiopathic vasculopathy affecting the retina of young adults. The disease is characterized by sheathing of the retinal vessels and areas of nonperfusion in the peripheral retina. Recurrent vitreous and retinal hemorrhages can lead to various complications, including hemorrhagic glaucoma owing to neovascularization of the iris-corneal angle, retinal detachment, and visual loss. In this report we describe a case of assocation of Eales’ disease and open angle glaucoma discussing pathophysiological mechanins correlating ocular hydrodynamics and hemodynamics under normal and disease states.
