What is Double Vision?

Double vision, or diplopia, occurs when you see two images of a single object—either side-by-side, on top of each other, or at an angle. It can be temporary or indicate an underlying condition.

Common Symptoms of Double Vision:

  • Blurry, overlapping, or ghosted images
  • Difficulty reading or driving
  • Dizziness, headaches, or nausea
  • Improved vision when one eye is closed

If you experience sudden double vision, seek medical attention immediately! It could be linked to neurological conditions, stroke, or other serious issues.

Causes of Double Vision

Double vision can result from eye muscle problems, nerve issues, or underlying health conditions.

Common Causes:

  • Refractive Errors – Uncorrected astigmatism or improper glasses prescription
  • Neurological Issues – Stroke, brain injury, multiple sclerosis
  • Muscle & Nerve Disorders – Myasthenia gravis, thyroid eye disease
  • Trauma or Injury – Head injuries affecting eye movement

A comprehensive eye exam can determine the cause of your double vision and guide your treatment options.
