Abstract
During 3-year study of 73 patients with dental inflammation, sinusitis, otitis and 5 cases with granuloma, in 9 cases
we observed the development of central retinitis. All patients were medicated with the same antibiotics and parabulbar
depo of Prednisolonacetate. To 50% of these patients, we suggested eye protection with Yellow Medical filters during two
months. In the first group with medication we observed better vision in 69%, but in the second group with eye protection
with Yellow Medical filters we observed normalization of vision in 100%.
