RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To study the clinical characteristics of macular diplopia, treatment, and outcome. METHODS: Retrospective descriptive study of cases referred to the ocular motility section of a tertiary hospital with diplopia, diagnosed with macular diplopia between 2022-23. The etiology of the macular pathology and the type of associated strabismus were recorded. The result was considered good if the diplopia improved or was eliminated with the medical or surgical treatment. Follow-up time from the onset of diplopia until data collection was recorded. RESULTS: a total of 19 cases comprised the sample (63.2% women), mean age: 67.16 years. Amblyopia (21.1%), high myopia (47.4%), epirretinal membrane (ERM) (36.8%), neovascular membrane (26.3%), macular hole (10.5%), and lamellar (15.8%), and age macular degeneration (5.3%) were registered. The 47.4% had vertical diplopia, horizontal: 5.3 and 47.4% mixed. The mean horizontal deviation was: 7.3 PD (prism diopters) and vertical: 6.22 PD. Ocular extorsion was observed in 26.3%, and intorsion: 5.3%. Torticollis was present in 15.8%. The treatment consisted of strabismus surgery + Botox (15.8%), strabismus surgery (47.4%), medical treatment with Fresnel prims or Scotch cellophane (36.8%). A 68.4% presented a good result at the end of the study. The mean follow-up was 55.58 months. CONCLUSIONS: Misregistration of macular photoreceptors is the most common cause of binocular diplopia in patients with ERM or other macular pathologies. Most complains of vertical or mixed diplopia. Sensorimotor evaluation of these patients should be thorough. Early diagnosis prevents unnecessary prescription of prism glasses. Surgical and/or medical treatment achieves good results in most cases.

La OCT (Tomografía de Coherencia Óptica) es una técnica de exploración tele oftalmológica moderna que se aplica para estudiar en vivo el segmento anterior y posterior, aunque en la actualidad su uso es mayor para la obtención de imágenes de la retina. Con un rápido chequeo del paciente se podrá valorar y estudiar a unos niveles, hasta ahora no conseguidos con otros medios, el estado de la retina y al mismo tiempo detectar con gran precisión distintas patologías y su evolución. En este trabajo se revisó la OCT en cuanto a la base de su funcionamiento y su importancia en el diagnóstico de las patologías retinianas y neurooftalmológicas. Se tuvo en cuenta la literatura disponible sobre el tema y los resultados se representan en Microsoft Word(AU)
