Fifty patients with aphakia and strabismus were studied. The chief complaint was diplopia following full optical correction. Prism therapy was recommended if the diplopia persisted after 3 to 4 months. When prism therapy was ineffective or impractical, surgery was recommended. The result of therapy was not influenced by the cause of the cataract treatment was considered successful in approximately 80% of patients. Patients who had convergence insufficiency did well with prism therapy alone. Half of the patients who had divergence excess needed extraocular-muscle surgery. One fourth of the patients had esotropia, nearly half associated with lateral rectus palsy. While prism therapy resulted in fusion, a reduction in prism power was not tolerated in this group. For this reason, surgery was suggested for all patients who had esotropia.
