Abstract

Foveal displacement resulting from epiretinal membranes (ERMs) or other macular diseases leads to a condition known as dragged fovea diplopia syndrome. This syndrome causes central binocular diplopia, where individuals see double images. Its prevalence remains uncertain. Since the fovea is affected, traditional prismic therapy is ineffective in alleviating the "retinal diplopia." Currently, there is no known cure for this condition. However, there are available treatments to managed and alleviate the symptoms effectively. The study's goal is to discover the clinical traits of dragged-fovea diplopia syndrome, propose a straightforward test to help assess these patients, and suggest a simple treatment to alleviate double vision in some cases.We searched PubMed, Google Scholar, and the Cochrane databases for English-language studies published and outlines the systematic procedure utilized for a comprehensive literature review spanning the period from 2005 to October 2020. In this nonsystematic review, performed from May 21, 2023, to September 1, 2023, we address a series of questions to explain the cause of Central-Peripheral Rivalry-Type Diplopia and complications associated to it and Clinical management and its challenges.In conclusion, central retinal rivalry is a rare and fascinating occurrence wherein peripheral retinal images blend together, yet central retinal images become misaligned, resulting in a clash between the central and peripheral fusion mechanisms. Understanding the condition has practical implications in the field of vision and neurological disorders. By delving into the mechanisms underlying central retinal rivalry, researchers can gain a deeper understanding of how the brain processes visual information and resolves conflicts. This knowledge can be applied to the development of diagnostic tools and therapeutic interventions for various vision-related disorders. Moreover, the development of effective treatments underscores the importance of ongoing research in this field, offering hope and relief to those living with this intriguing yet challenging condition.
