Abstract
Blepharoplasty is one of the most commonly performed procedures. It is among the top five most performed cosmetic surgeries. Although serious complications are possible, most physicians consider the procedure to be relatively safe. However, one of the rare complications associated with blepharoplasty is blindness. We report monocular blindness that occurred in one of our 55-year-old patients as a consequence of a retrobulbar hemorrhage during blepharoplasty.
