Monocular diplopia of retinal origin.

F E Lepore, D L Yarian

    Journal of Clinical Neuro-Ophthalmology
    |September 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Monocular diplopia, or double vision in one eye, can be caused by subretinal choroidal neovascular membranes. Laser treatment effectively resolved this uncommon visual symptom in a patient with retinal disease.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Retinal Diseases
    • Neovascularization

    Background:

    • Monocular diplopia is an uncommon visual symptom.
    • Subretinal choroidal neovascularization is a rare cause of ocular pathology.

    Observation:

    • A 68-year-old male presented with monocular diplopia.
    • The patient was diagnosed with a subretinal choroidal neovascular membrane.

    Findings:

    • Successful resolution of monocular diplopia was achieved through laser photocoagulation.
    • The choroidal neovascular membrane was targeted and treated with laser therapy.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights retinal disease as a potential, albeit uncommon, cause of monocular diplopia.
    • Laser photocoagulation represents an effective treatment modality for subretinal choroidal neovascular membranes causing diplopia.
