A 35-year-old Kuwaiti lady, who is a known myope, developed severe anterior segment ischemia following extra-ocular muscle transposition surgery. The patient was treated with topical and systemic steroids. Her best corrected visual acuity after complete resolution of the inflammation was 20/40. She also developed pupillary mydriasis and anterior lens changes.
