title: Blurry vision after orbital decompression surgery.
abstract: Pathologic myopia may be associated with abnormal vitreomacular adhesions that can portend a higher risk of retinal detachment. The authors report a case of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with a complex macular tear after orbital decompression surgery in a patient with pathologic myopia. This case highlights the importance of retinal detachment in the setting of orbital decompression.
