Abstract
The objective of this article is to report two cases of black occlusive intraocular lens and implantation for treating intractable diplopia. Two patients with intractable diplopia after orbitofacial, trauma, and surgical removal of pituitary adenoma failed to conservative management. After uneventful cataract, phacoemulsification, a black intraocular lens was implanted in every case. In both cases, a complete degree of satisfaction was achieved, with no symptoms of diplopia, and no complications have been observed in their follow-up. The use of optical coherence tomography has been possible in both cases to assess the macula and optic nerve, since a fundoscopy is not possible in such cases. Implantation of a near-infrared transmitting occlusive intraocular lens for treating intractable diplopia provided a complete resolution of symptoms without eliminating the possibility of examining macula and optic nerve using optical coherence tomography.Keywords
