: To study the incidence of postoperative anti-elevation syndrome in relation to the magnitude of anterior transposition of the inferior oblique. : A retrospective chart review was conducted for all patients submitted to anterior transposition of the inferior oblique from 2000 to 2020. Anti-elevation syndrome was defined as limitation of elevation of the abducting eye, resulting in a secondary upshoot of the contralateral adducting eye.

Observations: We report a case of ERM with distance Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) of 20/40 in the right dominant eye, and 20/20 in the left eye. The main symptom was binocular blurry vision, and the patient did not desire to pursue posterior vitrectomy due to its risks.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to test conjunctival swabs from patients with severe COVID-19 for the presence of the virus SARS-CoV-2 using real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR).
- Researchers collected 50 swabs from in-patients and compared these results with naso/oropharyngeal swabs taken within 24 hours.
- Results showed that 10% of conjunctival swabs tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, and most of these findings were consistent with positive results from the naso/oropharyngeal swabs, marking it as the first study in Brazil to report such findings.
