“…(Brown et al, 1994) Indirect laser treatment to the area surrounding the macroaneurysm may also improve visual outcomes in some patients with macular edema. (Robertson, 1973;Palestine et al, 1982;Francois, 1979) Laser hyaloidotomy using a neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Nd:YAG) laser for subhyaloid hemorrhage has been reported but is controversial due to the risk of vitreous hemorrhage or damage to the macula. (Tassignon et al, 1989) As macular edema resolved after laser photocoagulation visual acuity of the patient improved and finally patient had 6/6 vision in the affected eye.…”

Background: A case of exudative macroaneurysms in unilateral Eales' disease is reported. 'Eales disease' is an idiopathic bilateral occlusive periphlebitis with neovascularisation and mostly presents with vitreous hemorrhage. Case: A 30 year old male presented with diminution of vision in left eye (6/36) for 1 month. Slit Lamp examination of both eyes revealed normal anterior segment. Fundus examination of left eye with + 90 D lens revealed reddish lesions at the macula with surrounding circinate exudation. On peripheral examination hemorrhages were seen along with vasculitis in the superotemporal quadrant.The right eye fundus was normal.All laboratory investigations were found within normal limits. Conclusion: Eales' disease is mostly a bilateral condition but this case is rare as there is uniocular involvement with exudative macroaneurysms.Laser therapy was instituted which was effective in management of this condition with restoration of normal visual acuity.There was no relapse on follow up for 2 years.

“…1 Their aetiology is likely to be the same as that of retinal arterial macroaneurysms elsewhere, that is, arteriosclerotic vasculopathy, with increased prevalence of associated hypertension, and central retinal vein occlusion, as well as female sex. 4 Embolic arterial disease may have also been implicated.…”

“…Blepharospasm is an involuntary spasmodic bilateral eyelid closure that may be accompanied by dystonia of the facial, oromandibular, and cervical muscles. 1 It is associated in 7% of cases with eyelid apraxia, 1 a nonparalytic motor abnormality characterised by difficulty in initiating the act of elevation in the absence of sensory loss or ataxia. 2,3 Blepharospasm can be a debilitating condition that may render some patients functionally blind.…”
