  2. Diplopia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplopia

    Acute diplopia is a diagnostic challenge. The most common cause of acute diplopia are ocular motor nerve palsies (OMP). [18] The brain calculates the visual direction of an object based upon the position of its image relative to the fovea.

  3. Sixth nerve palsy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixth_nerve_palsy

    Diplopia is typically experienced by adults with VI nerve palsies, but children with the condition may not experience diplopia due to suppression. The neuroplasticity present in childhood allows the child to 'switch off' the information coming from one eye (in this case the esotropic eye), thus relieving any diplopic symptoms.

  4. Ocular myasthenia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocular_myasthenia

    The most common symptoms are double vision and eyelid drooping , whereas the pupil is always spared. Diplopia occurs when MG affects a single extraocular muscle in one eye, limiting eye movement and leading to double vision when the eye is turned toward the affected muscle.

  5. Refractive error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_error

    When refractive errors in children are not treated, the child may be at risk of developing ambylopia, where vision may remain permanently blurry. [32] Because young children typically do not complain of blurry vision, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children have yearly vision screening starting at three years old so that unknown refractive errors or other ophthalmic ...

  6. Vestibulocerebellar syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestibulocerebellar_syndrome

    The symptoms of vestibulocerebellar syndrome vary among patients but are typically a unique combination of ocular abnormalities including nystagmus, poor or absent smooth pursuit (ability of the eyes to follow a moving object), strabismus (misalignment of the eyes), diplopia (double vision), oscillopsia (the sensation that stationary objects in the visual field are oscillating) and abnormal ...

  8. Hypertropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertropia

    diplopia or double vision - more seen in adults (maturity / plasticity of neural pathways) and suppression mechanisms of the brain in sorting out the images from the two eyes. cyclotropia, a cyclotorsional deviation of the eyes (rotation around the visual axis), particularly when the root cause is an oblique muscle paresis causing the hypertropia.

  9. Visual impairment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_impairment

    The most common causes of visual impairment globally are uncorrected refractive errors (43%), cataracts (33%), and glaucoma (2%). [1] Refractive errors include near-sightedness, far-sightedness, presbyopia, and astigmatism. [1] Cataracts are the most common cause of blindness. [1]
