title: An eye for a tooth.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To propose a possible link between dental extraction and intra-ocular complications.
  
  
  BACKGROUND
  Several publications in medical literature describe intra-ocular complications after different dental procedures.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Retinal detachment and vitreous hemorrhage following dental extraction with an appropriate anesthesia.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Systemic complications following dental treatments should not be neglected and proper medical treatment must be provided as soon as possible.
