My son had his wisdom teeth pulled. Cellulitis infection set in and traveled up his nasal cavities. Got behind his eyes and damaged his optic nerves. He is completely blind in one eye and has less than 15% vision in the other eye. The infection is what caused the blindness not getting the tooth pulled itself. The infection was traveling to his brain and heart. He needed multiple surgeries to save his life. He was able to keep his eye balls but the nerves were beyond help. This happened in 3 days.
Dear Sir,
First of all, I sincerely want to thank you for your comment.
Yes, it was an upper tooth (3rd molar, on right side). Soon after my 3rd molar was extracted, my right eye went blind. Could you please kindly give me the explanation regarding to the situation I am facing now? How are eyes' and tooth's nerves related?
Thank you very much for your kind help.
I have seen this and it is most likely related to the anesthesia reaching the area of the eye nerve or blood vessel. Was this an upper tooth?
Dr. O.
