Hi Anon - Thank you for the additional information. Eales disease is commonly seen in India and in sections of the Middle East, but is rarely seen in the United States. This link will provide more information: http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1225636-overview

Retinal Vasculitis is typically treated with high doses of cortisone-related medications, such as prednisone. You can learn more about diagnosis and treatment here: http://www.uveitissociety.org/pages/diseases/retinalvasculitis.htm

If you are concerned with the discrepancy between the diagnoses you may want to seek a third opinion. Two of the top ranked centers in the U.S. in the Western part of the country are in Los Angeles: the Doheny Eye Institute http://www.doheny.org/
and the Jules Stein Eye Institute (JSEI) http://www.jsei.org/

I hope this information helps you in determining your next steps. Will you let us know what you decide to do and how your treatment goes?
Take care,
Pat
