Summary

What Researchers Did

Researchers reported a case of a 62-year-old patient who developed anterior segment ischaemia following two-muscle adjustable suture repair of vertical strabismus and was subsequently treated with hyperbaric oxygen.

What They Found

The patient tolerated the hyperbaric oxygen treatment well, with acute symptoms almost completely resolving within 3 days. This was reported as the first case of anterior segment ischaemia treated with hyperbaric oxygen and the first following surgery to two opposing rectus muscles in dysthyroid ophthalmopathy.
