Abstract
We present a case of ocular deviation and diplopia that developed 9 mo nths after monocular excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy, In thi s case, decompensation occurred because of a breakdown of fusion at di stance. We suggest a cover test to assess the presence of significant phorias in all candidates for refractive surgery procedures.
