A study conducted in Bilbao, Spain, examined the effectiveness of prism correction combined with vision therapy/orthoptics in treating diplopia (double vision) and improving health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Forty-eight participants with diplopia completed questionnaires before and after prism correction. The study found that prism correction alone was successful in 51% of participants, resulting in improved reading and general functions. However, for those in whom prism correction was unsuccessful, vision therapy/orthoptics treatment led to significant improvement in HRQOL and achievement of binocular vision. The study concludes that vision therapy/orthoptics can be a beneficial adjunct to prism correction in improving HRQOL for individuals with diplopia. [Extracted from the article]
