[(Title)] Woman goes blind in one eye from cosmetic filler injected in face.

Australian doctors have treated their first patient who has gone permanently blind from having dermal filler injected into her face.

澳大利亚医生已经治疗了第一位因皮肤注射填料而永久失明的病人。

A Four Corners investigation revealed that in April, the woman was taken to the ophthalmology department at Sydney's Prince of Wales Hospital, where despite the best efforts of doctors, her sight in one eye could not be restored.

调查显示，4月份，这名妇女被送到悉尼的威尔士王子医院眼科部，尽管医生尽了最大努力，但她的视力还是无法恢复。

She was given the filler by a nurse at a clinic where there was no doctor physically present.

在一家诊所里，一名护士给了她填料，当时没有医生在场。

Prince of Wales Hospital ophthalmologist, Dr John Downie, who treated the patient, agreed it was "alarming" that a patient could go blind from what is marketed as a simple cosmetic procedure.

威尔斯王子医院眼科医生约翰·唐尼医生说，虽然诸如肉毒杆菌等填料和防褶皱注射通常由护士进行，但既然它能导致病人失明，就代表它依然应当引起警觉。

"The problem I get is that people perceive a cosmetic procedure to have limited or no risk, and that's not the case," Dr Downie said.

唐尼医生说：“我经常碰到很多人觉得整容的风险不大甚至零风险，但实际上并非如此。”

While fillers and anti-wrinkle injections such as Botox are often done by nurses in shopping malls with only a brief Skype consultation with a doctor, they involve injection into the face of a Schedule 4 drug classified under the Poisons Standard.

Dr Downie said blindness can occur when an artery is blocked by the dermal filler.

唐尼博士说，当动脉被皮质填料阻塞时，就会出现失明。“填充物或其他物质被无意中注入血液容器中的周围皮肤，或者眼睛周围的皮肤。这种材料沿着动脉延伸到眼睛周围的一个大动脉，然后可以流动，阻止血管进入眼睛或眼睛内部。这完全是摧毁性的，就像你体内一部分死掉了。"”

"The filler or other substance is inadvertently injected into one of the blood vessels in the skin around, or under the skin around the eye," he said.

"That material goes back along that artery to one of the bigger arteries around the eye, and then it can flow and block off the blood vessels going to the eye, or inside the eye.

"It's completely devastating. It's like a part of you dying."

Internationally, there have been 98 documented cases of blindness caused by fillers.

在全世界，目前一共有98例填料致盲病例。

Australian doctors are also concerned by the sudden popularity of another cosmetic procedure that also poses a significant patient risk.
