Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate ocular movement disorders after scleral buckling surgery (SBS) for retinal detachment.

Methods: In this prospective, observational, case series, 206 patients (206 eyes) with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment who underwent SBS and investigated at the strabismus ward of Farabi Eye Hospital in Iran between November 2011 and November 2014 were assessed. Patients were followed from 6 to 36 months after SBS to evaluate for strabismus. Logistic regression analysis test and SPSS software version 20 were used for statistical analysis.

Results: From 206 patients, 56.8% were male, and 33.2% were female. For scleral buckle in 44.7% of patients, silicone band and tire (SBT) was used, and in 55.3%, a sponge. Among all patients, seven (3.39%) exhibited ocular movement disorder. There was no significant relation between type of buckle (P = 0.65) or the location of buckle (P = 0.56) and movement disorder.

Conclusion: Ocular movement disorder is one of the main complications after SBS without specific association between the type and location of exoplanet.

Keywords: Ocular movement disorders; Retinal detachment; Scleral buckling; Strabismus.
