Congenital strabismus surgery, patient has diplopia complications, seeing one object as two

On May 13, news from Saigon Can Tho Eye Hospital said that the hospital's doctors had just successfully treated a female patient with 15-degree congenital strabismus and double vision complications.

The patient is Mrs. LT.PT (45 years old, living in An Giang ), with a congenital strabismus of 15 degrees. Nearly a year ago, Mrs. T. had eye surgery at a hospital in Ho Chi Minh City. After the surgery, the strabismus did not go away and caused complications such as double vision, seeing one object as two. The prolonged illness greatly affected Mrs. T.'s daily life and work, forcing her to quit her job, her spirit was depressed, and she felt inferior.

Mrs. T's vision recovered after surgery.

After visiting Saigon Can Tho Eye Hospital for examination, Ms. T. was diagnosed with post-squint surgery diplopia. This is a dangerous eye disease with symptoms of seeing one thing as two things with one or both eyes.

The cause of diplopia in Ms. T's case was that both eyes were not tested for macular fixation before strabismus surgery, causing the images obtained by both eyes to not be in the same position and the brain to receive signals with two different images.

One week after surgery, both eyes of the patient recovered, vision returned to normal. The strabismus and diplopia were effectively treated, the patient no longer had symptoms of seeing one object as two objects.

Dr. Tran Van Ket, Director of Saigon Can Tho Eye Hospital, said that double vision treatment for patients can involve surgery, vision therapy, prisms or medication depending on the cause and severity of the disease.
