ABSTRACT
A 78-year-old woman underwent recession-resection surgery for longstanding exotropia. A scleral perforation occurred at the time of surgery and was treated with transscleral retinocryopexy. Three days after surgery the patient experienced light perception vision, pain, and hypopyon. She underwent a trans pars plana vitrectomy with intravitreal and periocular antibiotics. Three months after vitrectomy, visual acuity returned to the preoperative level of 20/50. Six months after vitrectomy she underwent an uneventful cataract extraction with posterior chamber lens implant. Visual acuity 5 months after cataract surgery was 20/20.
