Diplopia while using Microscope
by clearvision, Dec 09, 2008 12:27PM
Hi..i have joined in as an ophthalmology trainee,but find it very difficult to optain single vision in microscope..there is fusion for just 10 sec n than the two images diverge..i hv a 20/20 vision without glasses but with cycloplegic retinoscopy found myself to be hypermetrope with +3D (used cyclopentolate) no cylinder,with post mydriatic acceptance to +1D...
I feel very uncomfortable with the glasses with congestion and eyeache with the use of these glasses and using them too doesn't aid the binocularity....
Tried using the synaptophore for fusion exercise but it doesn't seem to help..fusion range for abduction is good but for adduction is slight less..another thing after doing these exercises or trying to strain on microscope for binocularity there is marked blurring for near vision..
Please HELP!!!!

Dear clearvision,
I would recommend that you put in your prescription in the eyepieces by focusing on an object on a piece of paper first. Once you adjust the eyepieces, this will be happening less.

good grief. I definitely wouldn't want you to check my eyes! Maybe you could try your luck in other speciality.
