One hundred and sixteen patients with abnormal head postures (AHPs) were analysed from the aetiological viewpoint. Ophthalmological, neurological and orthopaedic causes of AHPs were identified in our group of patients. Intraocular lenses were found to be associated with an AHP in two patients, and this may be the first report in the literature of an AHP in association with intraocular lens implantation. An appeal is made to both ophthalmologists and orthoptists for a multidisciplinary approach to managing AHPs.
