ABSTRACT
Objective: To provide a complete picture and to improve understanding of the serpiginous-like choroiditis caused by Mycobacterium Tuberculosis. Materials and methods: Literature review of serpiginous-like choroiditis. A number of scientific search engines were searched including Medline (PubMed), Scielo, and Cochrane Library. Using MeSH and DeCS terms. Results: 107 articles were obtained, of which 44 met inclusion criteria. Discussion: serpiginous-like choroiditis is described as its etiology, pathogenesis, ocular findings, diagnosis, differential diagnosis and treatment. Conclusions: Modern studies are needed to understand the pathophysiology, new diagnostic strategies, and future treatments of serpiginous-like choroiditis

Introduction: Leptospirosis is a neglected and re-emerging zoonotic disease that may cause ocular involvement, uveitis being the main complication of the systemic disease. Aim: The purpose of this review was to raise awareness and update on uveitis caused by leptospirosis, which is a challenging pathology because it can mimic other types of uveitis. Materials and methods: An article review, was conducted by searching PubMed (MEDLINE), Scielo, Cochrane Library databases using the following MeSH and DeCS terms: "leptospirosis", "uveitis", "ocular", "eye" and "human". The inclusion criteria were articles between 2000 and 2021 in English, Spanish, French or Portuguese. Results and Discussion: A total of 49 articles were obtained with the mentioned inclusion criteria, and additionally 5 articles before the year 2000, which were considered due to their relevance and scarcity of articles on the pathology. Afterwards, a description of the disease was made. Conclusion: This literature review was steered to raise awareness and to apprise physicians and ophthalmologists about a pathology that is becoming increasingly relevant, but underdiagnosed, even in developed countries. Abbreviations: REU = recurrent equine uveitis, MAT = microagglutination.

La fiebre por virus de Chikunguña es producida por un arbovirus, RNA virus el cual es trasmitido por la picadura de mosquitos infectados. Los síntomas más importantes en estado agudo son fiebre, dolor articular y rash cutáneo. Aunque la enfermedad no se considera una amenaza para la vida del paciente, se han realizado varios reportes de mortalidad por la enfermedad. Hay también numerosos casos con descripción de manifestaciones atípicas las cuales son causa de morbilidad, que pueden dejar secuelas en el organismo y a nivel ocular con repercusiones en calidad de vida de los pacientes; por lo cual médicos de diferentes especialidades y oftalmólogos debemos estar al corriente de la enfermedad para realizar un diagnóstico y tratamiento oportuno. Esta revisión hace énfasis en la etiología, epidemiología, manifestaciones sistémicas y oculares, diagnóstico y tratamiento disponible.
Chikungunya fever is caused by an arbovirus, a RNA virus that is transmitted by the bite of infected mosquitoes. The most relevant acute symptoms of the disease are fever, joint pain and rash. Although Chikungunya is generally not considered life threatening, there are reports of cases with mortality; atypical clinical manifestations resulting in significant morbidity have been documented, besides sequels that may cause several different manifestation in the organism and the eyes and repercussions in the quality of life of patients; physicians of different specialties of medicine and ophthalmologist should be aware of it to perform a promptly diagnosis and treatment. This review highlights the current understanding on the etiology, pathogenesis, epidemiology, systemic changes with an emphasis on ocular findings, diagnosis and available treatment of the disease.

Objetivo: Evaluar los resultados visuales del implante de lente trifocal AT LISA® tri 839MP en pacientes con cataratas o presbicia. Métodos: reporte de serie de casos de 14 pacientes (24 ojos) en los que se realizó facoemulsificacion del cristalino e implante del lente trifocal AT LISA® tri 839MP. Resultado: en un periodo promedio de 6,3 meses se evaluó la visión la cercana y lejana con promedios de visión logMar sin corrección de 0,004 y 0,008 respectivamente y para la visión intermedia el promedio logMar fue 0,02; con 100% de los pacientes con independencia de gafas Los fenómenos visuales como halos estuvieron presentes en 8,4% de los ojos. Conclusiones: el lente evaluado produce excelentes resultados visuales en función visual lejos, intermedia y cerca con gran satisfacción del paciente.
Objective: to evaluate visual results in trifocal lens implant AT LISA tri 839MP® in patients with cataracts and presbyopia. Methods: this case series report comprised 14 patients (24 eyes) who had lens phacoemulsification and implantation of AT LISA tri 839MP® trifocal lens. Results: during an average period of 6.3 months, mean values of 0,004 and 0,008 logMar were obtained respectively for uncorrected near and distance vision and the average intermediate vision was assessed with logMAR scale at 0,02 ;100% of patients have independence of spectacles. Visual phenomena as halos were presented in 8.4 % of eyes. Conclusions: the evaluated lens produces excellent visual results in far, intermediate and near visual acuity, with great patient satisfaction.
