Ocular complications in a patient with history of bariatric surgery
VAD can present years after bariatric surgery and cause serious ocular risks. While oral supplementation showed potential, it was insufficient to prevent surgical intervention. This case report aims to raise awareness of post-surgical risks to vision and highlight the importance of long-term nutritional monitoring and early diagnosis in patients with a history of bariatric surgery.
