title: Strabismus following posterior segment surgery.
abstract: Persistent diplopia following posterior segment surgery is not uncommon. There are several causes of postoperative strabismus, some of which are preventable. Knowledge of the possible causes, proper evaluation, and appropriate treatment can eliminate or at least reduce the morbidity from this unwelcome postoperative surprise.
