title: Necrotizing scleritis after strabismus surgery in thyroid eye disease.
abstract: Surgically induced necrotizing scleritis, which can lead to potentially devastating consequences, is a rare sequela to many types of ocular surgeries. We describe a 58-year-old woman who developed necrotizing scleritis following strabismus surgery for thyroid ophthalmopathy. Tectonic corneal patch grafting resulted in a favorable outcome.
