| Title | Diplopia caused by convergence insufficiency |
| Purpose | To describe a more frequent cause of diplopia than it may seem. |
| Methods | Several clinical cases will be evoked to illustrate the symptoms and the treatment possibilities of convergence insufficiency. |
| Results | Convergence insufficiency is generally a progressive decompensated condition. It has nevertheless its place in the work-up of an acute diplopia. |
| Conclusion | The stress induced by "seeing double" can lead the patient to an emergency consultation, even in case of convergence insufficiency, an usually progressive condition. |
