Abstract

Clinical case We report two patients of 29 and 50 years old presenting with unilateral choroidal folds in posterior segment in which, after a complete ophthalmic examination, we suspected an acquired hyperopic shift syndrome. Fluorescein angiography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a flattening of posterior globes and distended perineural subarachnoid spaces. Discussion Acquired hyperopia with choroidal folds is a benign condition characterised by the acute development of a unilateral or bilateral hyperopic shift in refractive error. We emphasise the importance of a differential diagnosis from a wide variety of disorders that can mimic this syndrome.
