RESUMO
PURPOSE: To describe a case of anterior scleritis related to SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. SARS-CoV-2 vaccines appear safe; however vaccination has triggered thromboembolic events in predisposed patients. METHODS: A retrospective case report of anterior scleritis in a woman following administration of both ChAdOx1nCoV-19 vaccine doses was studied by complete ophthalmologic examination and complementary tests. RESULTS: The patient has overcome SARS-CoV-2 infection a year prior. Ancillary tests including autoimmune and infectious diseases were negative. The chronology between ChAdOx1nCoV-19 vaccine and the sequential episodes of scleritis may have a cause-and-effect relationship. CONCLUSION: Ophthalmologists may be aware of scleritis as an ocular manifestation following ChAdOx1nCoV-19 vaccine, in otherwise healthy patients.

CASO CLÍNICO: Se describe el caso de un varón de 35 años de edad diagnosticado en Urgencias de lesión macular bilateral tras la exposición de forma accidental a la luz de un láser femtosegundo industrial. DISCUSIÓN: Los trabajadores que usan láseres industriales deben proteger sus ojos de forma adecuada cuando manejen estos instrumentos. Si no es así, pueden producirse lesiones en la retina, que aunque se suelen resolver, en ocasiones son causa de pérdida de visión mantenida
CASE REPORT: We describe the case of a 35-year-old man who arrived in the Emergency Department with bilateral macular injury caused by accidental exposure to an industrial femtosecond laser. DISCUSSION: Workers operating industrial lasers must protect their eyes properly when handling these devices. Otherwise, retina damage may occur which usually is recoverable. However, sometimes this damage causes permanent visual loss
