title: Retinal complications of strabismus surgery.
abstract: The frequency of inadvertent retinal perforation during routine strabismus surgery has been debated, as patients with such complications are usually asymptomatic. Recent prospective clinical studies indicate a retinal perforation rate of 0.4 to 2.8 per 100 cases using modern surgical techniques and materials. Laboratory studies support close follow-up without treatment as an acceptable mode of management in the majority of these cases.
