It most often occurs because of penetrating head wounds. The frontal and temporal lobes are frequently involved. Of course this type of injury could occur anywhere in the brain. Dysphagia, aphasia, apraxia, dysarthria, paralysis, as well as visual and other problems can occur.
Double vision redirects here. For other uses, see Double vision (disambiguation). Diplopia, commonly known as double vision, is the simultaneous perception of two images of a single object that may be displaced horizontally, vertically, diagonally (i.e., both vertically and horizontally), or rotationally in relation to each other.
Strabismic amblyopia is the most common type of amblyopia. The deviating eye which may turn in (esotropia), out (exotropia), up (hypertropia) or down (hypotropia), is suppressed in order to prevent double vision. This suppression can become so effective that the affected eye loses its visual potential.
