On the basis of analysis of patients with posttraumatic diplopia pathomechanism, diagnostic procedure, methods of surgical treatment and its results were discussed. In the group of 1196 patients with injuries of the organ of vision posttraumatic diplopia was diagnosed in 536 (44.8%) patients, of which 331 (61.8%) underwent surgery. In this group recovery was obtained in 182 (55.0%) patients, while in remaining marked improvement was stated. Lack of knowledge in this field among specialists was pointed out and was confirmed by mistakes in diagnostics and methods of treatment. These factors markedly worsen final results of proper treatment.
