RESUMEN
Ocular involvements of Biermer's anaemia are rarely reported in literature. We present a case of Biermer's anaemia associated with diabetes. Ocular examination showed important conjinctival paleness, diffuse retinal ischemia, Roth's tasks, macular oedema and ischemic optic neuropathy. The patient was treated with vitamin B12 intramusculary. A month later, on examination, we noted a regression of optic neuropathy, the aggravation of ischemic retinopathy and persistence of macular oedema. The patient was treated with laser photocoagubation. The majority of ocular manifestations are reversible if treatment is undertaken early. The combination of diabetes with Biermer's anemia deteriorates the ischemic retinopathy and aggavates its prognosis
