A summary of the article is shown below:

Macular involvement is a common finding in patients with Eales disease. The purpose of this communication is to describe the diagnosis of Eales disease from the finding of a macular epiretinal membrane in a young patient. The case is presented of a 38-year-old man referred to this medical service unit with blurred vision developed over the past 3 months, and was associated with vitreoretinal traction and a macular epiretinal membrane. After an ophthalmological examination including the retinal periphery, optical coherence tomography, tuberculin test, interferon gamma release assay (IGRA), and a systemic study, the patient was diagnosed with Eales disease. Macular oedema or epiretinal membranes due to Eales disease are relatively common. Sd-OCT is recommended in all patients with Eales disease. On the other hand, the presence of epiretinal membranes in young patients usually suggests a non-idiopathic aetiology.Copyright © 2019 Sociedad Española de Oftalmología.
