Orbital cellulitis following silicone-sponge scleral buckles
A 53-year-old woman with a history of normal-tension glaucoma and past laser trabeculoplasty treatment for both eyes presented with 7 days of pain, eyelid redness, significant chemosis, and proptosis of her eye, operated on for RRD 14 months earlier. Her visual acuity (VA) was 20/120. IV amoxicillin/clavulanic acid treatment was initiated, and buckle removal was undertaken. S. aureus was identified. During follow-up, she had cataract surgery and trabeculectomy. She was followed for the next 12 years; her last VA was 20/30.
