Monocular traumatic cataract, extraocular muscle deviation, and intraocular lens implantation.

I report seven patients with monocular traumatic cataract who had either preinjury or postinjury extraocular muscle deviation. All but one were managed with cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation, without muscle surgery. If muscle surgery is required in such cases, I recommend that it be delayed until at least a year after the cataract and lens implantation surgery.
