Complete Information on Coats disease

Coats’ disease also known as exudative retinitis.

Coats’ diseas is a rare eye disorder, causing full or partial blindness, characterized by abnormal development of blood vessels behind the retina. It is a progressive condition of the retinal capillaries which occurs in children and young adults, usually males. Retinal capillaries play an important part in the nourishment of the retina which forms the thin light-sensitive screen lining the inside of the back two thirds of the eye. Light reaching the retina is converted into electrical impulses which pass along the optic nerve to the brain where the impulses are converted to sight.
