RESUMO
To review indexed literature concerning adverse ocular effects of the most common aesthetic facial procedures (light-emitting therapy, dermal fillers injection, and botulinum toxin). Literature search using three online databases - PubMed, SciELO, and Capes - selecting case reports, series of cases and reviews, with no language restriction, published in a period of the last twenty years (1995-2015). After reviewing 48 case reports and most recent reviews, the authors found the most common ocular adverse effects of dermal fillers were related to vascular occlusion; light-emitting therapy was associated with pigmented tissue damage leading to anterior uveitis and iris atrophy, and ptosis presented the higher relative risk associated with botulinum toxin. Even though ocular adverse effects are not very frequent, some of them can lead to permanent ocular dysfunction and visual impairment. Professionals involved in cosmetic procedures should be aware of the risks.

PURPOSE: To assess visual results and compare methods of measuring central corneal thickness (CCT) and corneal opacity thickness (COT) in patients with corneal opacities induced by epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC) and treated with phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) using low-dose mitomycin C (MMC). DESIGN: Prospective consecutive case series. METHODS: Patients with chronic adenoviral corneal opacity underwent transepithelial PTK with MMC 0.002% for 1 minute. The presence of photophobia, the best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), and the contrast sensitivity were evaluated. CCT measurements were obtained with ultrasound pachymeter (US), ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM), Scheimpflug tomography (Pentacam Oculus), and optical coherence tomography (OCT Visante). COT measurements were obtained with UBM, Pentacam, and OCT. RESULTS: Thirty-one eyes of 23 patients, comprising 15 women (65.2%) and 8 men (34.8%), mean age 41.8 years, were enrolled in the study. Duration of visual disturbance was 19.1 ± 14 months. The number of patients with photophobia was reduced from 100% to 29% after surgery. BSCVA improved 2 or more lines in 78% of the patients at 12 months. A hyperopic shift of 1.52 ± 0.91 diopters was achieved. Contrast sensitivity improved in both photopic and mesopic conditions. For each of the instruments, the CCT postoperative mean was significantly smaller than the preoperative measurement (P < .0001) and COT values were significantly reduced in comparison to the preoperative values (P < .001). CONCLUSION: Improvements in photophobia, BSCVA, and contrast sensitivity were observed in patients treated using excimer laser PTK with low-dose MMC for subepithelial infiltrates.
