چکیده

BACKGROUND Accurate evaluation of diplopia during bedside physical examination is challenging. We developed a new computerized red glass test (CRT) to detect, localize, and quantify diplopia and investigated whether the CRT is useful and feasible. METHODS During the CRT, a white dot randomly appears on a monitor. Because a red glass is applied on the right eye, a patient can see one white dot and one red dot when diplopia is present. We defined the degree of diplopia as the direct distance of the two points with the largest deviation and compared the degree with the Hess score and Hess area ratio. RESULTS We prospectively enrolled 14 patients with binocular diplopia. Test-retest reliability of the CRT was excellent (overall intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.948, 95% CI 0.939-0.956). The degree of diplopia in the CRT was well correlated with both the Hess score (r = 0.719, p = 0.005) and the Hess area ratio (r = -0.620, p = 0.018). CONCLUSIONS The CRT can easily detect the presence of diplopia and provided the quantitative values of the degree of diplopia. The CRT was useful and feasible for improving routine bedside examination.

Reversals of the colour-depth illusion explained by ocular chromatic aberration

Although many colour-depth phenomena are predictable from the interocular difference in monocular chromatic diplopia caused by the eye's transverse chromatic aberration (TCA), several reports in the literature suggest that other factors may also be involved. To test the adequacy of the optical model under a variety of conditions, we have determined experimentally the effects of background colou...

Analysis of complications after surgical repair of orbital fractures.

BACKGROUND The term "orbital blow-out fracture" is referred to as the mechanism by which an impact to the eyeball is transposed as a mechanical energy to the orbital walls, causing them to fracture. Despite a proper surgical technique, a successful anatomic reconstruction of the orbit, and an accurate follow-up, 3 complications are still frequently observed at long-term follow-up: diplopia, eno...

Variant of the Lancaster diplopia test.

THE Lancaster diplopia test (Lancaster, 1939) is simple and sensitive, shows topical cyclophoria easily, and is applicable to alternators with abnorinal retinal correspondence, so that in these respects it must be regarded as superior to the Hess test (Hess, 1916). The Lancaster method of recording, however, is less lucid, and attempts have been made, for example by Tulloch (1950) and Hugonnier...

The usefulness of the cervical range of motion device in the ocular motility examination.

OBJECTIVES To determine if the cervical range of motion (CROM) device, an instrument designed to assess the range of motion in the cervical spine, may be suited for accurately quantifying the magnitude of a patient's abnormal head posture, limitation of ductions, or range of single binocular vision at distance fixation. METHODS The CROM device was used to measure abnormal head postures in 10 ...

Resolution of diplopia after 33 years

A 54-year-old male sustained a fractured right orbital floor 33 years ago, which was treated with a silastic implant. His diplopia never resolved, and he presented to us with an acute orbital cellulitis. Computerized tomography showed a displaced inferior rectus and entrapment of both inferior and medial recti. The implant was removed surgically via a Caldwell-Luc approach and his diplopia comp...
