Cerebral diplopia or polyopia describes seeing two or more images arranged in ordered rows, columns, or diagonals after fixation on a stimulus. [1] [2] The polyopic images occur monocular bilaterally (one eye open on both sides) and binocularly (both eyes open), differentiating it from ocular diplopia or polyopia.
Aniseikonia is an ocular condition where there is a significant difference in the perceived size of images. It can occur as an overall difference between the two eyes, or as a difference in a particular meridian. [1] If the ocular image size in both eyes are equal, the condition is known as iseikonia. [2]
The differential diagnosis of multiple image perception includes the consideration of such conditions as corneal surface keratoconus, subluxation of the lens, a structural defect within the eye, a lesion in the anterior visual cortex, or nonorganic conditions, but diffraction-based (rather than geometrical) optical models have shown that common ...
Monocular vision is vision using only one eye. It is seen in two distinct categories: either a species moves its eyes independently, or a species typically uses two eyes for vision, but is unable to use one due to circumstances such as injury. [1] Monocular vision can occur in both humans and animals (such as hammerhead sharks).
A tragic photo of a baby born with only one eye and no nose has been circulating the Internet. The baby is being referred to as "baby cyclops" due to the comparisons drawn with the mythical cyclops.
Dysmetropsia in one eye, a case of aniseikonia, can present with symptoms such as headaches, asthenopia, reading difficulties, depth perception problems, or double vision. [3] The visual distortion can cause uncorrelated images to stimulate corresponding retinal regions simultaneously impairing fusion of the images.
The 77-year-old singer shared healing is "an extremely slow process" as he waits for sight to return to one of his eyes but is "feeling positive." Elton John reveals 'limited vision in one eye ...
Obscured vision due to papilledema may last only seconds, while a severely atherosclerotic carotid artery may be associated with a duration of one to ten minutes. [6] Certainly, additional symptoms may be present with the amaurosis fugax, and those findings will depend on the cause of the transient monocular vision loss. [citation needed]
