Background:To identify the frequency and etiologies of visual disturbances after cataract surgery in patients referred to Neuro-ophthalmology.Methods:This study is a retrospective chart review. Records of patients 18 years and older referred to neuro-ophthalmology clinics for new-onset visual disturbances within 6 months of cataract surgery were reviewed. Those with pre-existing neuro-ophthalmic disorders, combined intraocular procedures with cataract surgery, or inadequate follow-up were excluded. The main outcome measures were frequency and etiologies of visual disturbances after cataract surgery. Secondary analyses of a cohort of patients who had cataract surgery at our institution were performed to determine the frequency and etiology of visual disturbances after uneventful cataract surgery.Results:One hundred seventy-three patients met the inclusion criteria (internal referral: 36/173, from outside surgeons: 137/173). Sixty-one percent (106/173) were newly diagnosed with neuro-ophthalmic etiologies, including 21%(36/173) with afferent and 40%(70/173) with efferent disorders. Thirty-six percent (62/173) of patients had non neuro-ophthalmic causes and 3%(5/173) had systemic conditions responsible for visual disturbances postoperatively. Decompensated strabismus causing diplopia was the most common neuro-ophthalmic diagnosis after cataract surgery (50%, 53/106). Of the 13,715 patients who had cataract surgery performed at our institution over a 9-year period, 20 of 36 patients referred for visual disturbances were identified with neuro-ophthalmic etiologies of which 85%(17/20) had postoperative diplopia.Conclusions:In our study, decompensated strabismus causing diplopia was the most common neuro-ophthalmic visual disturbance after cataract surgery. Detailed history and ocular alignment should be assessed before cataract surgery to identify patients with the risk.
