Complications Of Strabismus (Squint) Surgery

• Undercorrection and overcorrection are the most common "complications" noted after strabismus surgery.
• Perforation of the sclera : Perforation of the globe may occur in 0.3% – 2.8% of cases [1,2], resulting in endophthalmitis in less than 1:3500 [3,4], and retinal detachment in even fewer cases [1,5].
• Lost and slipped muscles
• Infection
• Postoperative diplopia
• Conjunctival granulomas and cysts
• Anterior segment ischemia
