| Description |
Since misalignment of the visual axes causes the image of an object of interest to fall on noncorresponding parts of the two retinas, usually the fovea of one eye and the extrafoveal retina of the other eye, a sensory phenomenon occurs that is usually interpreted as diplopia, the visualization of an object in two different spatial locations. Depending on the nature of the misalignment, the diplopia may be horizontal, vertical, torsional, or a combination of these. |
