title: [Results of conventional retinal detachment surgery. III. Orthoptic results].
abstract: In a comparative study we examined orthoptic side effects in 117 patients following conventional retinal detachment surgery. Of these, 54 had had a segmental scleral buckle, 18 a simple encircling band and 45 encircling band combined with a radial buckle. Persistent diplopia was found in 6% of cases following segmental buckles, in 11% following simple encircling procedures and in 20% following combined operations with encircling bands and segmental buckles. The incidence of diplopia was more than 30% in cases with high encircling buckles.
