Binocular Diplopia
Binocular Diplopia is a term used in ophthalmology to describe a defined anatomical structure, physiological process, clinical finding, disease, investigation, or treatment concept.
The clinical context of Binocular Diplopia lies mainly in ophthalmology; understanding it requires relating the term to symptoms, anatomy, physiology and the patient's medical history.
How binocular diplopia presents is not identical in every patient: age, underlying disease, duration, severity and associated clinical findings can substantially change its appearance.
Evaluation of binocular diplopia starts with the relevant history and examination, followed when appropriate by laboratory studies, imaging, pathology, microbiology, functional testing or another targeted investigation.
Care for binocular diplopia is individualized, balancing symptom control, treatment of the underlying process, prevention of complications and preservation of normal function.
The outlook associated with binocular diplopia varies by cause and timing of treatment, making accurate diagnosis and appropriate follow-up more useful than interpreting the term in isolation.
