Summary

Motility disorders causing diplopia in primary position occurred in 7% of patients after retinal detachment surgery. Scarring, not surgical technique, was the main cause, suggesting focus on anti-inflammatory treatment and refractive correction.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Retinal Surgery
  • Strabismus

Context:

  • Retinal detachment repair using encircling bands can lead to postoperative motility disorders.
  • Diplopia in primary position is a potential complication affecting visual function.

Purpose:

  • To determine the incidence, duration, and treatment of diplopia in primary position following retinal detachment surgery with encircling bands.
  • To investigate the underlying causes of motility disorders and associated diplopia.

Summary:

  • A retrospective review of 264 patients revealed an 7% incidence of motility disorders with diplopia at 6 months post-surgery.
  • Esotropia and vertical deviations were common; treatments included prisms, strabismus surgery for scarring (adhesion syndrome), and eye occlusion.
  • Average refractive change was -2.0 D.

Impact:

  • Findings suggest focusing on managing hypertrophic scarring with antiphlogistic drugs and early refractive correction to mitigate diplopia.
  • Recommendations include careful surgical technique to avoid tissue damage and postoperative motility exercises.
  • Band removal or agents like mitomycin C are unlikely to resolve motility issues caused by scarring.
