Double vision, also known as diplopia, occurs when a person sees two images of a single object and can be a sign of underlying eye or neurological conditions that require careful evaluation and targeted treatment.
What Is Double Vision?
Double vision occurs when the eyes are not properly aligned or when the visual system is disrupted, causing two images of the same object to appear. This can affect one eye (monocular diplopia) or both eyes (binocular diplopia). Monocular double vision is typically related to issues within the eye itself, such as corneal irregularities or lens problems.
Binocular double vision, on the other hand, is often caused by misalignment of the eyes or problems with the muscles and nerves that control eye movement. Because the causes can vary widely, accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment.
