Diplopia is a visual disturbance characterized by the perception of double images. Diplopia arises from diverse origins, either due to ocular misalignment resulting in binocular vision disruption or from optical anomalies leading to monocular diplopia, which persists even with one eye closed. Patients with ocular misalignment can harbor serious pathology and should be evaluated systematically and thoroughly to uncover all potentially serious cases.This activity reviews the evaluation and differentiation of diplopia, equipping healthcare providers with essential tools to discern between the two types and facilitating accurate and timely diagnoses. Key clinical indicators and straightforward testing methodologies to distinguish between binocular and monocular diplopia are presented, focusing on identifying ocular misalignment or strabismus. The course discussion aims to enhance providers’ proficiency in diplopia assessment, empowering them to make informed decisions, establish early diagnoses, and initiate appropriate interventions.
