Improvement in the field of binocular single vision following bilateral phacoemulsification with toric intraocular lens implantation in a patient with a partial third nerve palsy.

Abstract
A 44-year-old female teacher with partial third (oculomotor) nerve palsy had a small central field of binocular single vision (BSV) following three strabismus procedures. Over several years her field of BSV constricted further, coincident with the development of myopia in one eye secondary to early lens change and in the presence of significant astigmatism. Following bilateral lens extraction with toric intraocular lens implants, her field of BSV reexpanded.
