Double vision, also referred to as diplopia, is a condition in which a person sees two images of the same object, which may overlap, intermingle, or be side by side. This eye condition may be isolated or connected to something more serious.
Your doctor will categorize your double vision as monocular, i.e., affecting one eye, or binocular, i.e., affecting both eyes. When you use only one eye and have double vision, you have monocular diplopia, and it might resemble a shadow. When both eyes are open at once and you see two images which disappears on closing one eye, then it is binocular diplopia.
If you have binocular diplopia, your double vision may be experienced either horizontally, i.e., the double images lie side by side, or vertically, i.e., the double images lie up and down. Which type you have, could point towards the likely cause.
Diplopia can be associated with other symptoms besides seeing double, such as:
Prior to treating double vision, the most crucial step is to identify the exact cause of the issue. The cause of double vision may occasionally be eliminated, or if not, the condition may be managed.
Sadly, there are instances where this condition cannot be improved. In this situation, there are still treatments that can make it easier for people to cope with it, such as wearing an eye patch or purchasing special eye wear with a prism lens to lessen the effects of double vision.
Diplopia can be a sign of something serious. Never ever take your eyesight for granted; speak with your healthcare provider right away if you experience any changes in your vision or if something doesn’t feel right.
