Strabismus after regional anesthesia for cataract surgery.

Background: An adult strabismus clinic in a regional eye centre provided an opportunity to estimate the risk of postoperative diplopia from regional anesthesia after cataract surgery and to describe the management of these patients.

Methods: Retrospective cohort analysis. All cases were referred over a 22-month period (November 1997 to September 1999) for investigation of postoperative diplopia after cataract surgery.
