To review the current knowledge of persistent visual loss after nonocular surgeries under general anesthesia. ⋯ If, when an ophthalmologist is consulted for a patient with perioperative visual loss, an obvious ocular cause is not apparent, urgent neuroimaging should be obtained to rule out intracranial pathology. Anterior and posterior ION should be considered and careful documentation is essential. Currently, the pathogenesis of perioperative ION remains unclear, and preventive and therapeutic measures remain elusive.

Oral gabapentin for the treatment of postoperative pain after photorefractive keratectomy.
To evaluate oral gabapentin for postoperative pain after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). ⋯ We found no difference in overall subjective pain management ratings between gabapentin and oxycodone/acetaminophen for postoperative PRK pain, although gabapentin was associated with significantly more frequent use of anesthetic eye drops as required.
