DIPLOGRAPHY IS A NEW METHOD FOR STUDYING DIPLOPIA
Diplopia is an urgent problem in both pediatric and adult ophthalmology. This is one of the most common binocular vision disorders in adult patients. It reduces the patient's quality of life significantly, makes it difficult to perform simple actions in everyday life, and limits professional activities and social skills. The existing methods for studying diplopia do not meet all the requirements, they are difficult to use and quite subjective. To develop a new method for diagnosing diplopia, which allows to give it a qualitative and quantitative assessment, study the dynamics as a result of treatment and carry out statistical processing of the study results. The essence of the method lies in the detecting diplopia and its assessment, based on the registration of a change in the position of the virtual image when the direction of gaze and the position of the patient's head change. The patient is presented with a tangential grid, on which he projects the figure of a cross with a laser pointer. The examination is performed with anaglyph glasses. The results of the study are the coordinates of the points corresponding to the position of the center of the green cross, and the tilt angle of the virtual image is only 9 degrees. It is possible to determine the position of the virtual image in each diagnostic position accurately.
