PURPOSE To evaluate the rate and pattern of new-onset diplopia after inferior-medial wall orbital decompression in thyroid-related orbitopathy (TRO) patients. METHODS Medical records of TRO patients who underwent orbital floor and medial wall decompression at the Goldschleger Eye Institute, Sheba Medical Center between 1/1986 and 12/2007 were reviewed and analyzed. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES pri...

PURPOSE Ordinary spherocylindrical refractive errors have been recognized as a cause of monocular diplopia for over a century, yet explanation of this phenomenon using geometrical optics has remained problematic. This study tests the hypothesis that the diffraction theory treatment of refractive errors will provide a more satisfactory explanation of monocular diplopia. METHODS Diffraction the...

Our goal was to investigate the incidence of postoperative primary gaze diplopia in patients with thyroid-related orbitopathy (TRO) undergoing deep lateral wall orbital decompression surgery with intraconal fat debulking in the Jules Stein Eye Institute over a period of 4(1/4) years. Overall 201 orbital decompression surgeries were performed in 116 patients (23 males, 93 females). All surgeries...

IntroductIon Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune neuromuscular disorder caused by anti‐acetylcholine receptor antibodies (AChR‐Abs) or other etiologies. Ocular symptoms were the first presentations in 40–50% of MG patients. Ptosis and diplopia were the most common symptoms of ocular MG (OMG). Limited studies demonstrated that patients presented with initial symptoms of only ptosis in 47%, o...

Monocular zones adjacent to depth steps can create an impression of depth in the absence of binocular disparity. However, the magnitude of depth is not specified. We designed a stereogram that provides information about depth magnitude but which has no disparity. The effect depends on transparency rather than occlusion. For most subjects, depth magnitude produced by monocular transparency was s...

PURPOSE To evaluate the prevalence of diplopia in Greece after cataract surgery among diplopia cases. METHODS The authors retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 571 patients with diplopia over an 8-year period in order to evaluate the prevalence of diplopia related to cataract surgery. The surgical and anesthetic records were also reviewed. All patients had full orthoptic assessment ...
