    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • A 62-year-old male underwent left eye socket reconstruction after a hot metal injury.
    • The reconstruction aimed to enable prosthesis use.

    Observation:

    • Depigmentation of eyelid skin was observed 6-7 months post-surgery.
    • This occurred after the removal of a temporary conformer.

    Findings:

    • The depigmentation is slowly improving.
    • Potential causes include hypersensitivity to chloramphenicol ointment or surgical trauma.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of monitoring for adverse skin reactions post-ocular surgery.
    • Suggests careful consideration of topical medications and surgical technique in socket reconstruction.
