Abstract: Objective To compare the effects of simple eye movement training and eye movement training combined with traction test on the vision after orbital blowout fracture. Methods 143 cases with orbital blowout fracture after operation were divided into the experimental group (63 cases) and control group (80 cases). The experimental group was treated with eye movement training and passive traction test within 3 days after operation, while the control group was treated with eye movement training alone. The changes of diplopias of all patients were observed. Results The efficient rate in the experimental group was 93.6% (59/63), that of the control group was 72.5% (58/80). The effect of the experimental group was superior to that of the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion The eye movement training combined with traction test can improve the diplopia of the patients with orbital blowout fracture after operation.
