Avoiding intractable diplopia by enhancing peripheral fusion in a post-traumatic strabismic with a 'jumping over' phenomenon

To avoid intractable diplopia in post-traumatic strabismus, it is important to assess a patient's ability for bifoveal fixation and secondary fusion before initiating vision therapy and/or strabismus surgery. Enhancing peripheral fusion and avoiding foveal anti-suppression with vision training...

Description
Summary:To avoid intractable diplopia in post-traumatic strabismus, it is important to assess a patient's ability for bifoveal fixation and secondary fusion before initiating vision therapy and/or strabismus surgery. Enhancing peripheral fusion and avoiding foveal anti-suppression with vision training can result in reducing the magnitude and frequency of a well adapted post-traumatic strabismus.
