Diplopia is the simultaneous perception of two images of a single object that may be displaced in relation to each other. [1] Also called double vision , it is a loss of visual focus under regular conditions, and is often voluntary.

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.

Anisometropia causes some people to have mild vision problems, or occasionally more serious symptoms like alternating vision or frequent squinting. However, since most people do not show any clear symptoms, the condition usually is found during a routine eye exam. [8] For early detection in preverbal children, photoscreening can be used.
