Introduction: Ophthalmic vascular occlusion due to hyaluronic acid (OVOH) is a rare but devastating complication of cosmetic filler injections, often resulting in severe vision loss.
Materials: The methodology involved a systematic search across PubMed, NCBI, Google Scholar, and Cochrane to investigate factors influencing central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) caused by fillers. Searches focused on "eye vascular anatomy," "ocular physiology in response to ischemia," "components AND hyaluronic acid AND inflammation," "recovery from blindness associated with fillers," "retrobulbar technique," and "hyaluronidase degradation AND fillers.
Background And Objective: We compared assistance burden between neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP) under intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) treatment on a treat-and-extend (T&E) regimen in a third-level hospital in a developed country.
Patients And Methods: This retrospective study using data from the Fight Retinal Blindness! Registry included patients treated between January 2016 and December 2020. Final event was established as best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) lower than 20 Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study letters.
The purpose is to describe a clinical case of orbital metastases as the presentation sign of the primary tumor, and the importance of a multidisciplinary diagnosis. A 70-year-old man attended the Ophthalmology Department referring ocular pain. Mild proptosis and a dermal lesion in the neck were noticed.
