Blurry vision after orbital decompression surgery

Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2014 May-Jun;45(3):247-9. doi: 10.3928/23258160-20140501-01. Epub 2014 May 12.

Abstract

Pathologic myopia may be associated with abnormal vitreomacular adhesions that can portend a higher risk of retinal detachment. The authors report a case of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with a complex macular tear after orbital decompression surgery in a patient with pathologic myopia. This case highlights the importance of retinal detachment in the setting of orbital decompression.
