What Researchers Did
Researchers described a case of severe visual loss and eye pain in a patient who developed iatrogenic ocular ischaemic syndrome and central retinal artery occlusion after receiving a Poly-D, L-lactic acid (PDLLA) filler injection in the nasal region.
What They Found
They found that a patient experienced severe visual loss and ophthalmalgia, diagnosed as iatrogenic ocular ischaemic syndrome combined with central retinal artery occlusion, following a PDLLA filler injection. Despite various treatments including ocular massage, intravitreal Aflibercept, and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, the patient's vision remained persistently impaired, marking this as the first reported case of this specific complication.
