Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A 12-year-old girl was referred because of unilateral visual loss in the right eye 5 days after uneventful strabismus surgery for a divergent squint. She had hypermetropia of +8 diopters and the axial length of both eyes was below normal for that age. Investigation with funduscopy, central visual field examination, optical coherence tomography, and fluorescein angiography revealed choroidal edema in the affected eye. The macular edema responded well to parabulbar and topical steroids and vision recovered completely within 2 weeks. Strabismus surgery in highly hypermetropic eyes with a small axial length can be complicated by choroidal edema.
