Abstract
The overall risk of severe vision loss after orbital surgery is 0.84%. The subgroup risk is higher in patients undergoing facial polytrauma repair, optic canal decompression, or orbital apex surgery from an intracranial approach. Close postoperative monitoring and urgent assessment and management of acute vision loss may improve visual outcome in some patients.
