Hysteroscopic gynecological surgeries are now commonly employed in the clinical practice. It has the potential to increase morbidity due to the complication resulting from perforation of the uterus, air/gas embolism, and fluid with electrolyte imbalance. Glycine 1.5%, as an irrigating fluid, is being commonly used and on increased systemic absorption can lead to a wide array of complications. We present a case of transient visual loss after increased absorption of the irrigating fluid, thereby highlighting the factors governing in its genesis and prevention.
