Ocular deviation following excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy

N Mandava et al. J Cataract Refract Surg. 1996 May.

Abstract

We present a case of ocular deviation and diplopia that developed 9 months after monocular excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy. In this case, decompensation occurred because of a breakdown of fusion at distance. We suggest a cover test to assess the presence of significant phorias in all candidates for refractive surgery procedures.
