Abstract
The Rationale
"Frozen Eye" is a very uncommon sequel after treatment of orbital blowout fractures requiring implant placement.
Patient Concerns
The implant may faultily impinge on the ocular and extra-ocular muscle(s), causing the abnormality in the movement of the eye.
Diagnosis
We present a 56-year-old male whose ocular implant impinged on muscle, causing "frozen eye" and had an infected implant.
Treatment Outcomes
The same was removed and surgically corrected. The manuscript describes the details and discusses the possible mechanism that led to the "Frozen Eye".
