ABSTRACT
Repeated vitreous haemorrhage is a common occurrence in Eales disease. 25 eyes of unresolving vitreous haemorrhage were subjected to pars plana vitrectomy. 18 eyes improved to 1/60 or better. Vitreous rebleed was the commonest problem encountered. We discuss our experience, complications and limitations.

62 Cases with unresolving Vitreous Haemorrhage due to varied etiology, underwent pars plana Vitrectomy. A vitreous rebleed on the table and post-operatively, was the main complication encountered. Despite limited equipment, a visual improvement was obtained in 59.68% eyes with visual acuity greater than FC 6 meters in 33.87% eyes. This is far better than not being able to offer any treatment at all.

Twenty four cases of endophthalmitis were subjected to pars plana vitrectomy. A final vitreous clearance was obtained in 62.50% cases. Visual improvement occurred in 41.67% cases. It was concluded that prompt detection and early and vigorous therapy--medical and surgical--is the mainstay in the management of endophthalmitis.
