Complication of scleroplasty observed in a long-term period: a clinical case
Purpose: to present a clinical case of a rare long-term postoperative complication of scleroplasty performed for progressive myopia. One of the methods of surgical treatment of progressive axial myopia is scleroplasty - strengthening the posterior pole of the sclera with grafts. The operation is simple to perform, does not require special equipment and rarely causes postoperative complications. The clinical case demonstrates a complication that appeared in the long-term period after scleroplasty - the darkening of the dislocated graft. It developed after hemosiderin imbibition of the graft material based on the subconjunctival hemorrhage caused by a blow to the eye. The graft was removed and replaced with a new one. Three months after the operation, it retains its correct position and color. This clinical case focuses on the interrelated complications of a technically simple operation: a change in the color of the graft due to subconjunctival hemorrhage occurred due to its displacement to the area of frequent localization of the hyposhagmus.
