Acute angle-closure glaucoma is a rare complication following lower eyelid blepharoplasty surgery. This case highlights the risk of vision loss after the procedure, emphasizing the need to discuss risk factors.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Oculoplastics

Background:

  • Blepharoplasty, a common eyelid surgery, can rarely lead to serious complications.
  • Acute angle-closure glaucoma is a severe form of glaucoma characterized by a sudden increase in intraocular pressure.

Observation:

  • An elderly male patient developed acute angle-closure glaucoma post-bilateral lower eyelid blepharoplasty.
  • The patient experienced complete vision loss in one eye as a result of the glaucoma.

Findings:

  • Glaucoma is an infrequent but significant risk after blepharoplasty.
  • Only two prior reported cases of glaucoma following blepharoplasty exist in medical literature.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of recognizing and managing glaucoma as a potential complication of blepharoplasty.

  • Further discussion and understanding of risk factors associated with blepharoplasty-induced glaucoma are warranted.
