Abstract
The development of severe retinal vascular disease and retinitis proliferans in sickle cell haemoglobin C disease (SC disease) is well recognized (Welch and Goldberg, I966; Goldberg, 197I; Condon and Serjeant, I972a). In a recent survey in Jamaica, Condon and Serjeant (1972a) noted retinitis proliferans in 23 (33 per cent.) of seventy adults with SC disease. The changes were found in some patients as early as 15 years of age. The present study was designed to observe the pattern of retinal vessel pathology in children with SC disease before this age.
