Strabismus Surgery in a 35-Year-Old Woman with Multiple Sclerosis
A 35-year-old woman with multiple sclerosis underwent strabismus surgery after a year of unsuccessful treatment for persistent binocular diplopia. Post-surgery, she achieved functional orthotropia, her diplopia resolved, and there was an improvement in eye movement coordination.

Why it matters
The results highlight that surgical intervention may provide significant improvements in some MS patients suffering from strabismus and diplopia.
What this does not prove
The findings are based on a single case report, which limits generalizability to the wider MS population and the understanding of outcomes in similar cases.
Next milestone
No next milestone was established from the available source.
