The zygomatic complex is the second most common fracture of the facial bones after the nasal bone. The prominent convex shape of the zygoma makes it vulnerable to traumatic injury. Diplopia is one of the serious complications of zygomatic complex fracture and is a common subjective complaint. Objective. To determine the frequency of diplopia in zygomatic complex fractures. Methodology. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted at the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Ward, Civil Hospital, Karachi, Pakistan. The duration of the study was 1 year (March 1, 2021 to February 28, 2022). A total of 126 patients having zygomatic complex fractures were included in this study. After recording the patient\u2019s complete history, like demographic details and cause for fracture, diplopia was examined clinically. If, during the examination, the patient complained of double vision, this was labeled as diplopia positive (Yes) and negative (No) if the patient did not have any such complain. Data were statistically analyzed. Results. The mean (\u00b1SD) age of patients was 33.42 (\u00b19.27), with 91 (72.2%) male patients and 35 (27.8%) female patients. The frequency of diplopia in zygomatic complex fractures was observed in 52 (41.3%) patients. The rate of diplopia was significantly high in patients aged between 31 and 40 years (P-value<jats:inline-formula>\n                     <a:math xmlns:a=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M1\">\n                        <a:mo>=<\/a:mo>\n                        <a:mn>0.0005<\/a:mn>\n                     <\/a:math>\n                  <\/jats:inline-formula>). Conclusion. The frequency of diplopia among patients having zygomatic complex fractures was high in this study. Thus, forming a strategy to properly diagnose and treat it and to prevent persistent morbidity to improve patient\u2019s quality of life is recommended.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2023\/7631634","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,8]],"date-time":"2023-11-08T20:05:12Z","timestamp":1699473912000},"page":"1-6","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Frequency of Diplopia in Zygomatic Complex Fractures\u2014A Cross-Sectional Descriptive Study"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2023","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1068-2538","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Maria","family":"Shabbir","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Shaheed Muhtarma Benazir Bhutto Institute of Trauma, Karachi, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-7177-6586","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ruqaya","family":"Shah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, Karachi, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9523-7574","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Muhtada","family":"Ahmad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Dow Dental College, Dow University of Health Sciences, Karachi, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0046-3529","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Rakhi","family":"Issrani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Preventive Dentistry, College of Dentistry, Jouf University, Sakaka, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8593-3659","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Zafar","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Frontier Medical and Dental College, Abbottabad, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Salah","family":"Nazal Alotha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Dentistry, Jouf University, Sakaka, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Basant","family":"Mousa Alsiyat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Dentistry, Jouf University, Sakaka, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6368-0774","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Mohammed Saad","family":"Alqarni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery and Diagnostic Sciences, College of Dentistry, Jouf University, Sakaka, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-6197-3559","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ahmed Saleh","family":"Albalawi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Dentistry, Jouf University, Sakaka, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Namdeo","family":"Prabhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery and Diagnostic Sciences, College of Dentistry, Jouf University, Sakaka, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7131-1752","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Mohammad Khursheed","family":"Alam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Preventive Dentistry, College of Dentistry, Jouf University, Sakaka, Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"Department of Dental Research Cell, Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences, Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals, Chennai, India"},{"name":"Department of Public Health, Faculty of Allied Health Sciences, Daffodil International University, Dhaka, Bangladesh"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1572-1498","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Zahid","family":"Qayyum","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Khyber Girls Medical College, Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"1","first-page":"164","article-title":"Optimization of management for zygomatic complex fractures: a study at tertiary care teaching hospital in Pakistan","volume":"19","author":"S.
