A normal phenomenon in binocular vision where objects not being fixated are seen as double. It occurs when images of non-fixated objects fall on non-corresponding retinal points outside of Panum’s fusional area. Objects closer than fixation produce crossed diplopia, while objects farther than fixation cause uncrossed diplopia.
