Causes of uniocular diplopia

30 August 2010

Uniocular diplopia refers to the appearance of an object in double even when viewing it through one eye. The causes of uniocular diplopia are:

  • Subluxated clear lens
  • Subluxated intraocular lens
  • Keratoconus (irregular refraction from corneal surface)
  • Double pupil (congenital / large iridectomy / iridodialysis)
  • Incipient cataract (this usually causes polyopia – due to irregular refraction due to multiple water clefts within the lens)
