Cosmetic strabismus surgery can lead to persistent diplopia (double vision). Careful consideration is needed to avoid this complication, especially when aiming for cosmetic improvement over functional vision restoration.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • The primary goal in treating binocular vision problems is achieving comfortable, single, clear, and normal binocular vision.
  • Strabismus surgery is a common intervention for both functional and cosmetic ocular deviations.

Observation:

  • Cosmetic strabismus surgery, while improving appearance, carries the risk of persistent diplopia (double vision).
  • This case report highlights a patient experiencing diplopia post-cosmetic strabismus surgery.

Findings:

  • Persistent diplopia is a significant complication of cosmetic strabismus surgery.
  • The potential for post-operative diplopia must be a serious consideration before undertaking such procedures.

Implications:

  • Careful patient selection and pre-operative counseling are crucial to mitigate the risk of diplopia after cosmetic strabismus surgery.
