The ocular toxoplasmosis is the most frequent cause of posterior uveitis of identified etiology, characterized for recurrences leading to a significant loss of vision. The most frequent ocular manifestation is the chorioretinitis, in a first infection and also in recidivism of a congenital form. We present two cases assisting the ophthalmologic consultation of the clinic José Martí Ballenita, in Ecuador, because of an abrupt loss of vision. The diagnosis of both cases was this disease. It is very important the performance of the ophthalmologist in the precocious diagnosis of the ocular toxoplasmosis, to begging the therapy, determine the kind of drugs to use and the continuation of the treatment with the chosen drugs in an individualized form, reaching that way a consequent visual rehabilitation.
