Introduction: It is known that vision disorders are within the context of public health problems. In childhood, during the neuropsychomotor development phase, visual changes are crucial, since there is a strong correlation between poor school performance and changes in acuity. For these reasons, ophthalmological examination in children, including refraction, is extremely important, aiming at the early diagnosis of diseases and possible refractive errors that may compromise the child’s life and development. 1% cyclopentolate hydrochloride eye drops are the most used during ophthalmic clinical evaluation as a cycloplegic and mydriatic agent to assist in refractive examination. Objective: The ocular and systemic side effects of 1% cyclopentolate hydrochloride eye drops were studied in patients who underwent static refractive examination in the strabismus sector of the Ophthalmology Discipline of the ABC Medical School. Material and Methods: A drop of 1% cyclopentolate is instilled in both eyes of each patient and the possible ocular and systemic signs and symptoms presented were observed after 40 minutes and 24 hours after instillation. Results: we expect to find ocular side effects more evident than systemic symptoms in the two evaluation times (40 minutes and 24 hours after instillation). All symptoms (ocular and systemic) are reversed spontaneously. Conclusion: The present study aims to show that the side effects observed by the topical (ocular) use of cyclopentolate eye drops 1% are few and present spontaneous reversal both from an eye point of view, as well as from a systemic point of view.

Introduction: Toxic Anterior Segment Syndrome (TASS) after cataract surgery may cause severe corneal decompensation that compromises corneal transparency and may require penetrating corneal keratoplasty to improve visual acuity. Purpose: We evaluated the postoperative complications of patients who underwent penetrating corneal transplantation for severe corneal decompensation secondary to TASS after cataract surgery, such as persistent epithelial defect, glaucoma, and primary and secondary transplant button failure. We will also evaluate pre- and postoperative visual acuity, graft survival time, and the presence of anterior chamber disorganization. Methods: Retrospective observational study in which a review of medical records of 9 patients diagnosed with TASS after cataract surgery who underwent penetrating corneal keratoplasty will occur. Results: In the present study all operated patients had glaucoma after penetrating corneal transplantation, and this presence of glaucoma was not correlated with graft survival time and with any other parameter evaluated. The presence of persistent epithelial defect correlated negatively with visual acuity. Conclusion: Postoperative complications of penetrating corneal transplantation in patients with TASS were frequent, such as glaucoma, primary

and secondary button failure and persistent epithelial defect. The only complication that compromised visual acuity was the persistent epithelial defect. All patients evolved with glaucoma. Keywords: corneal transplantation; anterior segment toxic syndrome.

Introduction: The incidence of cystoid macular edema (CME) after cataract surgery varies substantially and depending on the diagnostic method used. In addition, other factors that influence the incidence of CME are the technique of surgery and the associated comorbidities. Aims: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the incidence of EMC after uncomplicated phacoemulsification surgery, using the spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods: The incidence of sub-clinical and clinical CME was evaluated in 14 patients who underwent uncomplicated phacoemulsification surgery, using OCT before the surgical procedure and after seven and 28 days after it. The volunteers could not use a prostaglandin analogue or present any retinopathy that compromised visual acuity. Results: The incidence of clinically significant CME was 6.4%, however retinal thickening by OCT was observed in all patients in the fourth postoperative week. Regarding gender and laterality, the percentages were similar. Conclusion: In this study, we obtained a low incidence of EMC in patients assisted at this center, corroborating multicenter studies.

Introduction: Epidemiological studies and about patients’ waiting time on queues for corneal transplantation are important, as they allow us to know the assisted population and assist the medical team. Objectives: To evaluate the epidemiological and demographic profile of patients undergoing corneal transplantation from January 2014 to September 2018 at a teaching hospital in the city of Santo André (SP), as well as their waiting time for the procedure. Materials and methods: Retrospective descriptive study, performed through analysis of medical records and data from the website of the Government of the State of São Paulo’s transplant center. The study was conducted at the External and Corneal Diseases sector of Centro Universitário ABC/FMABC - Foundation’s Department of Ophthalmology. The following data were evaluated: gender, age, race, origin and waiting time for the patient to have a transplant. Results: A total of 139 corneal transplant patients were recruited for the study, with a mean age of 47.4 ± 23 years. According to gender, just over half of the transplanted were female (50.4%). Regarding to skin color, 45.3% of the patients were

Aim: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of continuous release of 0,7 mg dexamethasone (using implantable device) for treatment of macular edema. Methods: Cross-sectional observational study of 16 patients treated with 0,7 mg dexamethasone intraocular implant. Visual acuity, intraocular pressure and central macular thickness were recorded at baseline, 1-month and 3-month follow-up. Results: 15 eyes of 13 patients were included. Most eyes (n=9) improve visual acuity from baseline at 1-month follow-up; this improvement persisted through 3-monyh follow-up in six eyes. The central macular thickness decreased in the majority of the subjects at 1-month (n=12) and at 3-month (n=10) follow-up. Three eyes presented with elevated intraocular pressure. Conclusion: Dexamethasone implant can both reduce the risk of vision loss and improve anatomical features of macular edema due to several pathologies studied. This implant may be used safely and should be considered a
