Purpose:
The management of diplopia can be challenging in patients with a concurrent visual-field (VF) defect. We conducted a retrospective chart review to analyze and compare treatment outcomes for different types of VF defects.
Methods:
A retrospective chart review.
Results:
Seven patients with diplopia and VF defects were identified during the study. Four had bitemporal hemianopia, one had homonymous hemianopia, and two had a constricted central VF. A favorable or satisfactory outcome was achieved in all but two patients with bitemporal hemianopia.
Conclusions:
The hemifield-slide diplopia may develop in patients with bitemporal hemianopia or heteronymous altitudinal visual defects. Sensory abnormalities usually persist, even after elimination of ocular misalignment.
