    Persistent binocular diplopia after cataract surgery is challenging to treat. Strabismus surgery and adjunctive therapies offer limited success, with residual deviations often causing intolerable symptoms due to reduced fusional amplitudes.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Cataract surgery can lead to persistent binocular diplopia.
    • Post-surgical diplopia significantly impacts patient quality of life.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the outcomes of treating persistent binocular diplopia following cataract surgery.
    • To identify factors influencing treatment success in these patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 38 patients with post-cataract surgery diplopia.
    • Categorization of patients based on suspected underlying conditions.
    • Analysis of strabismus surgery outcomes, with and without adjunctive therapies (prismatic or botulinum toxin).

    Main Results:

    • Five of 16 patients achieved single binocular vision after strabismus surgery alone.

  • An additional four patients achieved this goal with adjunctive therapies.
  • Seven patients experienced persistent diplopia despite surgical and adjunctive interventions.
  • Small residual deviations were frequently intolerable due to diminished fusional amplitudes.

    • Conclusions:

    • Treatment of post-cataract surgery diplopia is complex, with variable outcomes.
    • Strabismus surgery and adjunctive therapies provide benefit to some patients but are not universally successful.
    • Reduced fusional amplitudes are a critical factor in the intolerance of even minor residual deviations.
