The two young pulsars PSR J0537-6910 and PSR B1706-44 have been recently observed with the NTT and the VLT. Although both pulsars turned out to be undetected (V ≥ 23.4 and V ≥ 27.5 respectively) the observations provided interesting constraints on the evolution of the optical luminosity of young pulsars.
