Binocular diplopia associated with retinal wrinkling.

W W Bixenman, L Joffe

    Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus
    |November 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Patients with retinal wrinkling and epiretinal membranes experienced vertical double vision. This unique syndrome resisted prism therapy due to conflicting visual processing from macular distortion.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Epiretinal membranes can cause visual disturbances.
    • Retinal wrinkling is a known complication.

    Observation:

    • Four patients presented with a unique syndrome.
    • They had small angle hyperdeviations and vertical diplopia.
    • Conventional prism therapy was ineffective.

    Findings:

    • The syndrome involved unstable single vision.
    • Pathophysiology suggests rivalry between central and peripheral fusion.
    • Mechanical macular distortion is the likely cause.

    Implications:

    • This challenges conventional understanding of binocular vision disorders.
    • New therapeutic approaches may be needed for such cases.
    • Understanding macular distortion's role is crucial for vision restoration.
