Inferior rectus muscle restriction after retrobulbar anesthesia for cataract extraction

Abstract

Among the recognized complications of retrobulbar anesthesia, postoperative permanent diplopia has rarely been reported. We describe two patients with inferior rectus muscle restriction after retrobulbar anesthesia for cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation. Both did well after inferior rectus recession with placement of an adjustable suture.
