We report three subjects of a Greek family affected by triple A syndrome (AAAS). All patients underwent complete ophthalmic examination, full-field electroretinogram (ERG), visual evoked responses (VER), optical coherence tomography (OCT) and molecular analysis of the AAA gene. All patients had alacrima.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluated the macular structure and function in HIV-positive children without visual symptoms or cytomegalovirus retinitis.
  • A total of 19 HIV-positive children (Group A) were compared with 20 healthy control subjects (Group B) using ophthalmic examinations, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) recordings.
  • Results showed that while visual acuity and color vision were normal, HIV-positive children exhibited increased foveal thickness and reduced electrical activity in retinal areas, indicating potential subclinical dysfunction despite normal vision.
