Two patients are presented with diplopia after cataract extraction performed under local anesthesia. Since there was no spontaneous recuperation after several months, strabismus surgery was performed. The first patient presented a restriction of the inferior rectus muscle probably caused by the retrobulbar injection of anesthetics. The second patient had a decompensation of a congenital superior oblique palsy. A survey of the different etiologies of diplopia after cataract surgery is given.
