Strabismus in the aphakic patient.

R L Cohen, S Moore

    Ophthalmology
    |December 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study on aphakia and strabismus found that prism therapy or surgery successfully treated diplopia in about 80% of patients. Specific strabismus types responded differently to treatments, guiding therapeutic recommendations.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Diplopia is a common complaint in patients with aphakia and strabismus after optical correction.
    • Management strategies include prism therapy and extraocular muscle surgery.

    Observation:

    • Fifty patients with aphakia and strabismus were evaluated for diplopia.
    • Treatment success rates and responses varied based on the type of strabismus.

    Findings:

    • Approximately 80% of patients achieved successful outcomes with prism therapy or surgery.
    • Convergence insufficiency responded well to prism therapy alone.
    • Divergence excess and esotropia required additional considerations, with surgery often recommended for esotropia, particularly when associated with lateral rectus palsy.

    Implications:

    • The findings support tailored treatment approaches for diplopia in aphakia and strabismus.
    • Prism therapy is a viable first-line treatment, but surgical intervention may be necessary for specific deviations.
    • Further research into managing esotropia in this patient population is warranted.
