Unilateral acute idiopathic maculopathy secondary to yellow fever disease: a case report.

Purpose: To report a case of unilateral acute idiopathic maculopathy (UAIM) associated with yellow fever.

Observations: A 59-year-old man presented with acute blurring of his vision 30 days after symptoms of yellow fever virus infection. Findings resembling unilateral acute idiopathic maculopathy of the left eye were noted on ophthalmoscopy, fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography.

Comparison between optical coherence tomography angiography and fluorescein angiography findings in retinal vasculitis.

Background: To describe optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) findings in patients with retinal vasculitis and to compare them to current fluorescein angiography (FA) findings.

Methods: This was an observational case series. Nineteen eyes in 10 patients with retinal vasculitis of various etiologies were imaged with FA (TRC-50DX, Topcon) and OCT-A (SD-OCT, Optovue).

Study of the Effectiveness of Multipurpose Solutions on the Bacterial Disinfection of Silicone Hydrogel Contact Lenses In Vitro.

Objectives: To assess the antimicrobial effectiveness of multipurpose solutions in regard to the disinfection of silicone hydrogel contact lenses (CL) using a study of clinical bacterial isolates from ocular material.

Methods: Three multipurpose solutions (solution A: polyhexamethylene biguanide 0.00025 g/100 mL; solution B: polyquaternary-1 0.

Measurement of ocular torsion variation following superior oblique tenectomy.

Purposes: To objectively evaluate the torsional effect of the superior oblique muscle-weakening surgery using the tenectomy technique proposed by Souza-Dias.

Methods: The present prospective study included 10 patients (20 eyes) with horizontal strabismus, bilateral superior oblique overaction and A-pattern of 15 to 30 prism diopters who underwent superior oblique tenectomy. Objective assessment of ocular torsion was performed by retinography immediately before and one month after surgery.
