Correspondence: Requests for reprints should be addressed to: Bruce A. Furr, C.O., The University of Michigan, W.K. Kellogg Eye Center, 1000 Wall Street, Ann Arbor, MI 48105

Refractive surgery procedures become more popular everyday. Millions of people have left their glasses or contacts behind after getting a surgical solution to their vision needs. Binocular diplopia has started to be reported following one of the many procedures. Reported causes for the diplopia are: loss of suppression, the worsening of a previously treated case of strabismus, not recognizing that prisms are present in glasses, decompensation of a marginal fuser and planned monovision in a poorly fusing patient. Refractive surgeons are encouraged to make sensory and muscle evaluations part of their pre-operative regimen for all candidates for refractive surgery.

Key words: LASIK, PRK, RK, strabismus, diplopia
