Abstract

Sickle cell disease is the most common inherited hematological disorder worldwide. Ocular manifestations of SCD include sickle cell retinopathy (SCR) and maculopathy, which are commonly observed in pediatric and adult patients with SCD. Although patients are often asymptomatic, significant vision loss and blindness can occur from complications of sea fan neovascularization, including vitreous hemorrhage and tractional and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. This chapter reviews the clinical features of SCR and maculopathy and focuses on the medical and surgical management of SCR.
