Binocular diplopia associated with subretinal neovascular membranes
Archives of Ophthalmology (Chicago, Ill. : 1960)
|February 1, 1980
Summary
Patients experienced double vision due to abnormal blood vessel growth under the retina. This condition causes visual rivalry, and standard prism treatments are ineffective for this specific type of vision problem.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Neuroscience
Background:
- Binocular diplopia can arise from various ocular and neurological conditions.
- Subretinal neovascular membranes (SRNVM) are a known cause of visual disturbances.
Observation:
- A cohort of patients presented with binocular diplopia.
- The diplopia was specifically attributed to the presence of an SRNVM in one eye.
Findings:
- The underlying pathophysiology involves a conflict between central and peripheral fusional vision mechanisms.
- This type of diplopia is refractory to conventional prism therapy.
Implications:
- Challenges conventional understanding of diplopia management.
- Suggests a need for alternative therapeutic strategies for SRNVM-induced diplopia.
- Highlights the complex interplay between retinal pathology and binocular vision processing.

01:25Glaucoma: Overview
Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...

DefinitionDiabetic retinopathy is a microvascular complication of diabetes affecting the retinal blood vessels.Risk FactorsDiabetic retinopathy is present in almost all individuals with type 1 diabetes and more than 60% of those with type 2 diabetes after two decades of disease.The risk increases with poor glycemic control, hypertension, dyslipidemia, smoking, pregnancy, and puberty.Although cataracts and glaucoma are also more frequent in people with diabetes, retinopathy remains the leading...
