Motility disturbances after retinal detachment surgery are rare complications. This retrospective study examined 2427 cases from the University Eye Hospital in Münster (1/84-6/89). All cases underwent scleral buckling procedures for retinal detachment. Twelve patients developed persistent diplopia. The scleral buckle needed to be removed in all cases; however, additional strabismus surgery had to be done in 5 cases to restore binocular single vision. Evaluation of the 12 cases suggested that the complications were caused by hypertrophic scarring rather than by the buckles, suturing material or muscular decompensation.
