Strabismus after retinal detachment surgery is usually temporary. However, persistent diplopia can occur due to restrictive strabismus, with surgical repair offering successful outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Strabismus is a potential complication following retinal detachment surgery.
  • Persistent diplopia affects 5-25% of patients post-surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the causes and management of strabismus after retinal detachment surgery.
  • To highlight treatment options for long-term diplopia.

Main Methods:

  • Review of literature on strabismus post-retinal detachment repair.
  • Analysis of causes including restrictive strabismus, muscle injury, and sensory deviations.
  • Evaluation of non-surgical (prisms, botulinum toxin) and surgical treatments.

Main Results:

  • Restrictive strabismus from adhesions or scarring is the most common cause of persistent diplopia.

  • Non-surgical treatments offer temporary relief.
  • Surgical intervention, particularly with adjustable sutures, is highly effective.

    • Conclusions:

    • Most post-surgical strabismus resolves spontaneously.
    • Restrictive strabismus is the primary cause of long-term diplopia.
    • Surgical correction with adjustable sutures provides a successful treatment for persistent strabismus.
