We observed 20 cases of Coats' disease during a 10-year period through 1987. The condition was unilateral in all the cases. The series comprised 15 males and 5 females. Nine cases were under 10 years of age, 4 in the second decade, 5 in the third decade and 2 were over 30 years of age. All the 5 eyes aged 4 years or less manifested leukocoria.

We treated 18 eyes with photocoagulation, using xenon, argon, krypton or dye laser. Following treat-ment, 14 eyes (77%) responded with decrease of subretinal exudates and exudative retinal detach-ment. Improvement in visual acuity occurred in 6 of17 eyes (35%). Persistent subretinal or preretinal fibrosis, macular atrophy or cystoid macular edema was responsible for the generally unfavorable visual outcome. Funduscopic improvement resulted in all of 11 eyes in which retinal telangiectasia involved two quandrants or less. Improvement in visual acuity was possible only when treated within 6 months after initial signs of the disease. The findings suggest that early photocoagulation is the treatment of choice for Coats' disease. Cases with telangiectasia involving less than 2 quandrants promise more favorable therapeutic outcome.
