Effects of orbital decompression on duction, cyclotorsion and diplopia

CONCLUSION: After orbital decompression, incidence of new-onset constant diplopia was 11% and 22% of the patients had partial or complete improvement of their diplopia. The changes in duction, cyclodeviation and horizontal deviation showed a statistical but not clinical difference. Patients with GO and a preoperatively restricted elevation of <19° are at risk of developing new-onset constant diplopia. In addition, preoperative incyclodeviation may worsen after decompression surgery.PMID:38041682 | DOI:10.1136/bjo-2023-323480
