Sickle retinopathy in patients with sickle trait

H Jackson et al. Eye (Lond). 1995.

Abstract

Sickle trait is traditionally considered a benign condition by ophthalmologists. Three cases of sickle retinopathy in subjects with sickle trait are reported. In all cases the onset of retinopathy was related to other contributing factors: in one case a traumatic hyphaema and raised intraocular pressure, in two others diabetes mellitus. Patients with sickle trait are at risk of retinopathy if coincident ocular or systemic disease is present.
