Abstract
We performed bilateral optic nerve sheath fenestrations on a patient with the syndrome of acquired hyperopia and choroidal folds. We are unaware of previous reports of this procedure being performed in this clinical setting. Despite the incomplete resolution of his posterior segment findings postoperatively, the results of the procedure, along with an understanding of the relevant anatomy, may help to shed light on the pathogenesis of this rare entity.
