    Abstract

    An elderly man had acute angle-closure glaucoma soon after undergoing bilateral lower eyelid blepharoplasty that resulted in complete loss of vision in one eye. Glaucoma is a rare complication of blepharoplasty surgery; only two previous cases have been reported to our knowledge. Risk factors for the development of glaucoma in the setting of blepharoplasty are discussed.
