Dermal filler injection is among facial rejuvenation treatments that have been increasingly used. Despite being a minimally invasive procedure, it can lead to severe complications such as blindness. A review of all cases of filler- -induced visual loss in the world literature was conducted to summarize the mechanisms, anatomical considerations, and clinical ophthalmologic course, current strategies of prevention and management, and trends over the years. We identified 233 cases of filler-induced visual loss, and 172 patients had a severe visual impairment in at least one eye. The typical patients are young women who received injections of hyaluronic acid or autologous fat in the glabella or nose, and the typical presentations were sudden ocular pain, ptosis, and ophthalmoplegia due to vascular occlusion. The findings of this study also suggest an increase in the number of unlicensed professionals performing the procedure. Even though the continued development of dermal fillers has improved the treatment options available, further studies and strategies are necessary to reduce the incidence and minimize the consequences of filler-induced visual loss.
皮肤填充剂注射是面部年轻化治疗中越来越常用的方法。尽管这是一种微创程序,但它可能导致严重的并发症,如失明。对世界文献中所有因填充物引起的视力丧失病例进行了回顾,以总结其机制、解剖学考虑因素和临床眼科病程、当前的预防和管理策略以及多年来的趋势。我们确定了 233 例因填充物引起的视力丧失病例,其中 172 例患者至少有一只眼睛存在严重视力障碍。典型的患者是接受额部或鼻部注射透明质酸或自体脂肪的年轻女性,典型的表现是由于血管阻塞导致的突然眼部疼痛、上睑下垂和眼肌麻痹。本研究的结果还表明,进行该手术的无照专业人员数量有所增加。尽管皮肤填充剂的不断发展改善了现有治疗选择,但仍有必要进一步研究和制定策略,以降低填充物引起的视力丧失的发生率并最小化其后果。
