title: [Ophthalmologic vascular occlusions and oral contraceptives].
abstract: PURPOSE/MATERIAL AND METHOD: We present two cases of vascular ocular occlusion occurring during oral contraceptive use. Different contraceptive related risk factors are discussed.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Although ocular complications are rare, they should be kept in mind since these drugs (contraceptives) are not recommended when vascular occlusion risk factors are present.
