Abstract
Complications of the rhinoplasty surgery may involve the orbital contents due to the anatomical proximity to the surgical site. In this article, we report an inadvertent complication of the rhinoplasty in a 32-year-old woman who presented to our clinic with reduced vision of her left eye following the surgery. With diagnosis of a penetrating globe injury, the patient underwent an anterior segment surgery with general anesthesia which included both corneal laceration repair and lensectomy. We suggest that surgeons consider using protective eye shields for their patients during these surgeries depending on their experience and technique.
