Purpose-We compared diplopia scores using a new Diplopia Questionnaire to the established Goldmann diplopia field.Methods-Seventy-five consecutive patients with binocular diplopia associated with any type of strabismus were assessed with the Diplopia Questionnaire and the Goldmann perimeter. Diplopia was scored, according to published protocols, from 0 to 100 where 0 is no diplopia and 100 is diplopia in all measured positions. Where there was a discrepancy of more than 20 points between the Goldmann diplopia field and the Diplopia Questionnaire, two observers classified the reasons for the discrepancies.Results-There was fair overall agreement between the Diplopia Questionnaire and the Goldmann diplopia field, with 44 (59%) of 75 patients having agreement within 20 points (intraclass correlation coefficient 0.53, 95% CI 0.35-0.68). Of the 31 (41%) of 75 patients who had a discrepancy of more than 20 points, 13 (42%) of 31 exhibited a higher diplopia score with the Diplopia Questionnaire than the Goldmann perimeter and 18 (58%) of 31 showed a higher diplopia score with the Goldmann diplopia field than the Questionnaire. The most frequent reason for a higher Diplopia Questionnaire score was the proximal test distance of the Goldmann diplopia field (6 of 13 cases). The most frequent reason for a higher Goldmann diplopia field score appeared to be patient adaptation to diplopia (9 of 18 cases).Conclusions-The Diplopia Questionnaire may better represent binocular diplopia in everyday life than the Goldmann perimeter, capturing adaptation to diplopia, suppression, fragile fusion, and diplopia at distance fixation.Quantification of diplopia provides a means of assessing severity of strabismus and allows evaluation of recovery or deterioration and response to treatment. Until recently, the Goldmann perimeter has been considered the standard for quantifying the field of diplopia, yielding a percentage score. 1-4 It is not clear how this method of measuring diplopia reflects daily experience or how the derived score correlates with patient's perception of severity.

Recently, a diplopia questionnaire has been designed which assesses diplopia in seven positions of gaze rating diplopia as sometimes, always, or never (Table 1). 5 The Diplopia Questionnaire is scored in an analogous manner to the Goldmann diplopia field, with primary and reading positions given more weight than other positions, and a percentage score is calculated for each patient. The purpose of this study was to compare the scores obtained using the Goldmann dip...
