Abstract
- While blindness after hyaluronic acid gel filler injection occurs only very rarely, it represents a devastating complication for the patient and the surgeon. Retrobulbar injection with hyaluronidase is the only known potential means of reversing this adverse event. However, positive outcomes remain anecdotal. We have attempted to review the current literature regarding possible efficacy and detail the indications and technique to be utilized, if hyaluronidase retrobulbar injection is to be attempted.
