Diplopia is an event that can occur following cataract surgery,
although its rate of occurrence is limited and ranges from 0.67% to
0.85%. The authors present a case of vertical diplopia arising after
peribulbar anaesthesia for cataract surgery in a 78-year-old woman.
Diplopia appeared at distance in primary position, while at near there
was binocular single vision. Stereopsis was present at the Lang I – II
Test, but the Wirth Test was incomplete. Although in the literature the
frequency of these “accidents” is very limited, we think it is relevant
to emphasize the need to perform pre-operative routine using a careful
orthoptic examination along with a thorough medical, especially
strabological, history. Clin Ter 2013; 164(1):e31-33. doi:10.7417/
