Entomopia

Entomopia (from the Greek roots for "insect" and "eye"), is a form of polyopia in which a grid-like pattern of multiple copies of the same visual image is seen.¹

Entomopia may be due to disease of the occipital lobe, defects in visual integration and fixation or incomplete visual processing due to poor visuospatial localisation in the hemianopic field,² although its causes are unknown.³ Reassurance may be the only treatment.³
