Binocular diplopia is a debilitating visual symptom requiring immediate intervention for symptomatic control, whether or not definitive treatment is eventually possible. Where prismatic correction is infeasible, the current standard is occlusion, either by a patch or an opaque contact lens. In eliminating one problem-diplopia-occlusive techniques invariably create another: reduced peripheral vi...

BACKGROUND Isolated pure blowout fractures are clinically important because they are the main cause of serious complications such as diplopia and limitation of extraocular movement. Many reports have described the incidence of blowout fractures associated with diplopia and limitation of extraocular movement; however, no studies have statistically analyzed this relationship. The purpose of this ...

BACKGROUND We studied the incidence and clinical characteristics of persistent diplopia related to anaesthesia for cataract surgery in a general hospital. METHODS This was a retrospective review of anaesthesia for 3587 cataract surgeries. Of all the cases of diplopia referred to the ocular motility clinic after cataract surgery, those involving anaesthesia-related diplopia lasting longer than...

Objective To quantify fixation stability of the upward gaze in patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) using an eye tracker. Methods and analysis In this study, 21 normal subjects, 5 patients with MG with diplopia, 5 patients with MG without diplopia and 6 patients with superior oblique (SO) palsy were included. Subjects fixated on a target in the upward direction for 1 min. The horizontal (X) a...

Stereo-matching solutions minimize disparity relative to the horopter (minimum-absolute-disparity or MAD), and differences in disparity between adjacent features (minimum-relative-disparity or MRD). When placed in conflict, spatial proximity promotes MRD over MAD solutions. How does temporal proximity of neighboring features affect strength of these spatial interactions? We quantified the inter...

PURPOSE To report the treatment and histopathological findings in two cases who developed eyelid swelling, proptosis and diplopia due to orbital and lid lipogranuloma after endoscopic surgery of the maxillary and ethmoidal sinuses. METHODS To relieve the proptosis and diplopia, debulking surgery was done on the eyelids and orbit. The tissue removed was sent for histopathological examination. ...
