binocular diplopia

The appropriate treatment for binocular diplopia will depend upon the cause of the condition producing the symptoms.

However, if fusion of the images is lost, perhaps due to a preexisting phoria, binocular diplopia may result.

Without suppression of one of the images symptoms from mild poor stereopsis, binocular diplopia and intolerable rivalry can occur.

Usually it occurs in one eye first, and may cause binocular diplopia or double vision if the image from one eye is too different from the image of the other eye.

This relationship also gives rise to an associated phenomenon of binocular diplopia, although one that is rarely noted by those experiencing diplopia: Because the fovea of one eye corresponds to the fovea of the other, images falling on the two foveas are 'projected' to the same point in space.
