Incidence of diplopia after division and reattachment of the inferior oblique muscle during orbital fracture repair.

Background: Wide surgical access to the orbital floor and medial wall is often impaired by the course of the inferior oblique muscle. There is no current consensus on the optimal surgical approach for exposure, and techniques involving inferior oblique division are generally shunned for concern of possible complications.

Objective: To determine the safety and outcomes of inferior oblique division and reattachment for surgical access to the orbital floor and medial wall during orbital fracture repair.

Descemet membrane detachment during cataract surgery: etiology and management.

Purpose Of Review: The review updates the mechanisms, clinical presentations, diagnoses, and managements of Descemet membrane detachment during cataract surgery.

Recent Findings: The advent of new imaging techniques such as anterior segment optical coherence tomography and better comprehension of the clinical and pathological aspects of detachment have improved the diagnosis and treatment of this complication to the extent that the first algorithms and protocols have been proposed.

Summary: Though infrequent, Descemet membrane detachment is a complication of intraocular surgery, including cataract surgery and phacoemulsification.
