Summary

Binocular diplopia after cataract surgery is rare but serious. Muscular injuries from anesthesia are the most common cause, often requiring strabismus surgery for treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Complications

Background:

  • Binocular diplopia is a significant complication following cataract surgery.
  • Understanding its causes and prevention is crucial for patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the causes of binocular diplopia after cataract surgery.
  • To explore potential prevention strategies for this complication.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 11 patients experiencing binocular diplopia post-cataract surgery.
  • Patients received local retrobulbar anesthesia and were followed for 1-31 months.

Main Results:

  • Identified three main causes: muscular/nervous injuries (7/11), decompensated heterophorias (2/11), and disclosed strabismus (2/11).
  • Muscular injuries linked to anesthesia were most frequent.
  • Treatments included strabismus surgery (3 patients), prismatic correction (6 patients), and spontaneous recovery (5 patients).

Conclusions:

  • Binocular diplopia post-cataract surgery is rare with diverse causes.
  • Anesthesia-related muscular injuries are the primary cause.
  • Strabismus surgery is often necessary for these injuries.
