Strabismus after retinal detachment surgery: etiology, diagnosis, and treatment.
Journal Article (Journal Article;Review)
Between 5% and 25% of patients may experience persistent diplopia after surgery for retinal detachment. The complexity of the presentation poses a distinct challenge to both the retinal and the strabismus surgeon.

A combination of the appropriate surgical approach with nonsurgical adjuncts such as prisms or botulinum toxin is often successful in relieving symptoms.
