Diplopia..points to consider

[xaviervansteen]

Thank you for helping me understand this.

Oh shoot! I just did the pin test on my bilateral diplopia and ruled out the startling brain diseases it could be. Now I won’t arrive to my optometrist in a panicked state, thank you!

Also Glaucoma causes some type of Diplopia (Ghosting Vision in the affected eye/eyes due to loss of axons and RNFL) which the brain can't interpret the full signal from the eyes.

It seems a few things should be happening and are happening.

Dental work referrals should be made immediately, before work being done. Feels like Neuro and autoimmune result if not immediately dealt with.

I just see a slight shadow below the words while I read ebooks or read subtitles on tv..apart from that everything's fine. Eye doc asked me to wear Antiglare computer glasses when I use any gadgets & use eye drops for extremely dry eyes.

after not being able to afford glasses and nothing really working i started really breaking down what was happening when my vision went double. I found that my dominant eye started to "look around" my nose vs looking through it. Now i watch tv on my bad side to train my eye, forcing my good eye to look through my nose, as opposed to around it. My double vision is almost completely gone in a matter of weeks. Anyone reading this, try picking a spot on a wall, or head on a tv to follow. Try really hard and look through your nose at the object (like a side gaze), open your eyes up real wide as well, the more light that can enter the better.

I think I have binocular, I recently had a pons stroke and my right eyeball moved to the right. It always been a lazy eye from birth but it was straight. I just couldn’t read the eye chart after the first big E and maybe early on the second line with 2 E E’s . Now I have double vision more in that eye, but if I cover that eye I have double vision in the left eye when I look all the way left in that eye. The main symptom is I’m extremely dizzy and my peripheral vision in my right eye is off. Objects appear doubled/closer than they actually are.
I was told by the ophthalmologist and neurologist that only time will tell if it will return to normal. Meclizine doesn’t help much and at times I’m so nauseous to the point I don’t want to eat or if I do, I vomit. It’s hard to walk around and do things cause I feel like I will fall, I’ve actually caught myself from falling. I will eventually cus before the stroke I’ve had falls. In closing… This sucks!

Hi doc!! I'm currently self-treating my binocular diplopia and have many questions. I was born with 4 degrees of astigmatism in my left eye and ptosis, so basically as i was getting older I didn't want to use my left eye so i would close it and use just my right eye and my face angled to the left to have more periferic suport for it. With 6 years i did blefaroplastia and started using eyepatch but i didnt know any physiology at that time and i ignored it ( external/up strabismus) till college when I couldn't use pippetes cause i would see two eppendorfs. Also I've always felt like my left side of the face was kind of "non-expressive" and flat, so i started doing researches and here i am. Could you tell me if i continue stimulating my left muscles one day my diplopia will be gone (I've started experiencing stereoscopic perception in a couple days)...

My eyes checked out by retina specialist bc I see white flashing things when I blink. There is no issue, even no issue w the gel. He’s sending me to a neuro-ophthalmologist. Anyone get this?

[zeahboy]

Just think u can do this normally on your on but not really recommended plus, think how far your eyes can see until its invisible or so far away...

[ilhemderbal]

So helpful thank you doctor ! is there anyway we can have more developed courses from you sir

[gaylecheung]

Double when using pinhole with both eyes, does that make sense?

[howardthomes]

Dr. Lee, I have binocular diplopia, right eye, I am currently using eye exercises to strengthen the muscles around the eye. There has been some improvement. thank you for your video on the subject. Do u suggest a path of treatment> Thank you

Crap. I have binocular diplopia according to this explanation. Can it be caused by prolonged focusing on a phone screen?

[silaslongshot]

Have monocular diplopia in right eye from ptosis induced astigmatism (in my opinion) and cataracts (to be removed shortly). Will the preliminary exam for the new implanted lenses be able to get the Rx correctly going thru the ptosis induced 'wrinkle' of the astigmatism? Or will that astigmatism go away after ptosis corrective eyelid surgery no longer has the eyelid drooping across the field of vision causing the wrinkle? And if the implanted lenses were compensating for the "temporary" astigmatism that fades away after the ptosis surgery, where does that leave me with wrong Rx for the lenses?

[xverticlz]

I was born like this it’s never bothered me but I knew other people didnt see like me is worth treating?

[balana]

Do sleepy eye need surgery and how’s the result of it.

[Orozco]

What if I have double vision when I cover either eye and with both open? Is that both?
