Abstract:
Binocular diplopia after catarat surgery is a rare phenomenon, and it happens by variable mechanisms including extraocular muscle injury during bridle suture placement and myotoxicity of local anesthetics. We experienced three cases of binocular diplopia following successful cataract surgery in patients who had no history of strabismus, amblyopia and neurologic or systemic disease which might be related to mobility disorder. We report these cases and previous literature is reviewed.
