What Researchers Did
Researchers reported a case of monocular vision loss following hyaluronic acid filler injection into the ear.
What They Found
A 45-year-old woman experienced immediate left-sided vision loss after ear filler injection, diagnosed as central retinal artery occlusion with only the inferior temporal visual field remaining. Following treatment with hyaluronidase, dexamethasone, hyperbaric oxygen, and alprostadil, her vision improved with partial blood flow restoration in the left ophthalmic artery.
