Occasionally I get double vision in my right eye but it goes away in about 30 seconds if I close my left eye. I had shingles in my left eye three years ago so I’m pretty sure that happens because of the damage caused by that lovely virus. It’s not a problem but it’s kinda weird.
I have double vision..since birth. I've had eye surgeries in the past but now they are recommending therapy. What does it do? What are the exercises? Would you explore this topic?
I have more ghosting vision. Not super split vision more of a shadow of the same image typically lights and letters. Man I wish I could come see you doc.
@@DoctorEyeHealth A few years ago I went to the optometrist and they said that I had one in then I went to another 1 more recently in they said that It wasn't severe but I do have a slight one .
This video helped me finding out what I had after 3 years, I found your video when completely desperate after 3 doctors told me I had nothing. I have strabismus! It's not the worst and it's hard to tell but still it was so hard to see when driving and when I was tired, I felt so vulnerable! I got a Botox shot on my muscles and i can see way better!!! Thank you so much!!
We love it! We help patients with double vision, and this video is very helpful to all those who have some sort of Diplopia! Thanks so much for all your hard work.
I have a double vision since 2018. But the intensivity of this is slways different. Vision is always doubled when looking up-right corner. When looking down I will never have double vision ( but every morning I have a double vision in all positions. To fix this, I need to walk for a 15-20 minutes ). Strees, sport and especially working with computer ( especially reading ) intesifies eye spasm and then I need to look lower, and lower. The stronger spasm I have - the lower I need to look to prevent double vision. In the evening I often cannot look up and even at the center, I need to look down, to see normally. I also have right side headaches with right eye eyeaches at the same time ( but not always, sometimes thouse aches are weak, somtimes a havent aches at all ). Since 2018 my right eye's endure is lowered from 3-4 hours to 20-30 minutes ( after this doublevision wil become stronger and will go from upper-right corner to center ). My MRI and Ultrasoundinvestigation are ok. 3 ophthalmologists and 1 neurologist could not help me. I don't know, how to cure it. Prism glasses coul not help, because my eye spasms are always different.
Wow... reading your comment marks exactly what I have going on. Neurologist diagnosed me with diplopia on April 23rd. Still waiting to see ophthalmologist in August. I've been dealing with this since January 2023 and just now getting appointments to see the kinda Dr's that can hopefully figure me out. I've went on short term disability while waiting and my disability checks are fixing to stop. I can't do my job with this illness because it's bad especially on ladders.
@@DoctorEyeHealth , I found out why I had double vision. The internet gave me the answer and the treatment. It was from sphenoid Sinusitis. My right eye had pain in the eye socket, and numbness to the right temple. I took Ibuprofen for the pain. Every 4 hours for over 2 days, then the pain lifted and went away completely. I stopped taking the pills on the 3rd day. Then just over a week, closer to 9 days, the double vision went away completely. I found the answer on the internet, which several doctors could not find. Wearing prisms to correct the double vision only made my situation worse. The glasses were straining my eyes.
Just pulled over panicked because I suddenly got double vision which I’ve never experienced before! After a minute, it’s subsided and yours is the first video I came across. Very scary, I had to cover one eye as I safely pulled over
I suffered from diplopia for almost 2 years. In January I decided to do a check up on my eyes and at first I got a brain MRI which ended up being normal. I also got blood tests for Miastenia Gravis and Thyroid diseases, but no clue of what was causing the diplopia. The ophthalmologist did the cover-uncover test and I was diagnosed with left esotropia. I wore prism glasses for almost a year and yesterday finally I was able to get surgery. I’m still seeing double but the doctor said it takes like a month to my muscles and brain to adjusts themselves. Now I’m just hoping for the best.
@@leporiddae :( Oh god, that sounds sucks. I feel you, Hope you will be cured soon. Mine was not improving as well and i'm still waiting for my doctor, she has been in a 2 months leave.
My doctor diagnosed with grave’s disease around age 5 and I had my thymus gland removed. After that I don’t remember struggling with my vision anymore but then around age 14-15 I started having double vision out of nowhere which was when I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism/ myasthenia gravis. I had a thyroidectomy surgery at age 20 which did help reduce my double vision but now I have blurry vision all the time and double vision only when I drive and watch tv. I’m so tired of it :(
i've actually had double vision since i was born - when you're adopted, they usually tell the person who's taking you in what conditions you have if you have any, and they told my mom i had an eye condition.
@@DoctorEyeHealth yes i do. when i was a baby you could clearly see a lazy eye, as my left (?) eye is the one that distances away. i got older and learned to control it. now im fifteen, and it happens when i zone out.
this could be strabismus... i remember being able to do this before strabismus surgery but now it just makes my vision blurry... except i allways see double any way
@@radioserpent same problem. none of the doctors believed me. Every time, I am feeling that I am trying to convince them. And I feel stupid because I always fail to do so.
Im 64 years old and have unknowningly dealt with double vision for about 60 years of that time. The problem became a more significant problem when by chance i was getting prescription glass for blurred vision which is typical for someone of my age. I mentioned to the opthomologist I see double vision and i was prescribed glasses to rectify the blurred vision and also correct the diagonal double vision. (Prisims) Result was great i finally resolved a life long learning and reading problem. However this fix was not without side affects, now my eyes have adapted to the prisms and glasses and my brain can't correct the day to day vision it had encounter without the glasses which it had been doing for the previous 60 years! I'm a keen surfer and it has become much more difficult to surf or conduct a casual conversation without the glasses. This side affect isn't discussed by this fellow and by the specialist who would offer a surgical option. I elected not have surgery and will deal with the known not some partial remedy which is the best they offer. I'm now considering removing the prism from the glasses and accessing the pros and cons of the prism and no prisms. As long as you know what your dealing with you can adapt.
Graves and double vision for past two years. Long process so I am currently using a patch and have an appointment with a surgeon in December. Thanks for the info and keep up the good work on TH-cam.
@@DoctorEyeHealth Yes, double vision is constant. MG ruled out this summer. Prisms no longer work since I have about 30 degrees of vertical separation.
Great explanation, Doc. Troubleshooting double vision can be tedious work. We have a couple of orthoptists on staff that are AMAZING. Keep up the great work!
I always thought that when people crossed their eyes, it was the same thing as double vision but when one of my classmates told me to try to cross my eyes, I forced double vision and thought I was successful but apparently nothing happened from their perspective.
I had diplopia 8 yrs ago. I think it was due to lack of proper sleep and anxiety and this was all because of bad company. My left eye got squint but right eye was ok. So I had horizontal double vision. It lasted for approximately one month. I was admitted in hospital, done MRI and venography and then some medicine and finally eye exercises.
You got help. I went to the ER and two ophthalmologists but zero empathy zero suggestions for treatment. Nothing. I'm suffering and no one is trying to help.
I recently started suffering double vision, but unlike any of the cases discussed in this video, it was split vision, only in my right eye. I actually had just been to my optometrists a month before and at that point did not have anything like that at that point. Then suddeny, I woke up to double vision, only in my right eye. Plainly, it has nothing to do with alignment of the eyes, since it only effected the one eye. The weirdest part about it is that some days it is quite severe, and some days, like today, my vision is almost normal. It is not an anomaly with the surface of the eye, as it changes, and is uneffected by wearing contacts. In fact there is no difference, no matter which pair of lenses (clear or colored), or if I am wearing my glasses. About 2-3 months ago, I had a similar thing happen. I woke up to double vision, once again, only in my right eye, but it lasted only part of the day, then went away. But this time it has lasted several weeks. I will be calling my eye doctor, but if you had a patient with these issues, what would you suspect could be causing it? 2 heads are better than 1!
@@DoctorEyeHealth I had eye problems ever since I can remember from age 4. When I was told I now had strabismus after living with it for a few years I spoke to a great eye surgeon in Toronto and told I was not a good candidate for surgery because my vision changes so often. He sent me to his associate in the same building where this man applied a fresnel prism to my right lens on my glasses and asked me to look at the light on the ceiling and tell him how many I saw I said just one and then broke down and cried.Sorry to go on but to me it was like a miracle.You do great work and thanks and love and a lot of HOPE from Canada.
b12 deficiency can also cause double vision. multiple sclerosis can be falsely diagnosed when you have b12 deficiency. other b vitamin deficiencies such as B1 and B2 can also cause eye nerve related issues (neuropathy). vitamin A and omega 3 deficiency can cause dry eyes thus bad vision. good to know these.
Interesting thyroid connection, I recently was exhibiting multiple symptoms, one was blurred vision, long story short after weeks of bewilderment it turns out I was accidentally not taking my Levothyroxine to treat my HYPO thyroid condition, for a period of weeks/months (mixed up Rx bottles) but my eyes are swollen and sunken not protruding which I believe is a symptom of HYPER thyroid disease. I would love to hear your thoughts! So happy I’ve found your channel.
I know I'm replying to a two year old comment but you're right and this information might be helpful to other people. Hyperthyroidism, or Thyrotoxicosis, is a condition that causes the thyroid to produce too much of the hormone Thyroxine and is linked to the bulging eyes, a condition called Proptosis. I have experience of this and received radioactive iodine treatment to cure it. I no longer have an over-active Thyroid and the bulging eyes returned to normal.
My wife has developed double vision for about a month now. We got an MRI to rule out stroke , MS or tumor. Now seeking help of neuro opthalmologist. Also she suffers from Hashimotos Hypo Thyroidism and is taking a specially compounded thyroid medication called Tirosint 25 mg daily. Hoping that is the answer. Love how simply you explain everything. Thank you.
Keep trying until you find the right doctor(s). All last year they had tunnel vision on my high eye pressures (thinking it was Glaucoma) but they ignored my Graves and double vision. Finally found the right doctor at our university. (Which they are sending me to another university for the surgeon.) Michigan State and U of Michigan.
so well i'm a teenager and i have double vision and i keep telling my parents and my parents friends don't believe me i keep looking down and they think that i'm looking at my hair it is very aggravating
@@futurepilot6899 eh it’s better I still have double vision when I take my glasses off but tbh don’t like wearing them all the time my whole life I never had anything like this I had great vision very weird may I say.
I am 54 and when I was 16 I had Buckle surgery in both eyes for detached retina(one week apart) I complained about double vision from the time I had that surgery.. the finger test failed me.. I went to the Don Arnold for the blind in Houston Texas and they detected it and put Prisms to correct it on the eye glasses. The damage from the surgery, floaters that can’t be corrected and cataracts that I don’t qualify to have surgery .. has been a struggle all these years…
This happens when I drink way too much whiskey and drive my tractor trailer through the mountains. I find that wearing an eye patch helps and chicks really seem to dig it too. The worst is when both eyes have double vision (x4) and I'm forced to drive faster to get to my destination and get off the road and away from the maniacs that are texting and driving.
I've had double vision for years now. Been screened for MS and MG. My one doc thinks its caused by a dent in the back of my skill from a fall I had when I was 10. She said there's an optic nerve back there thats responsible for focus 🤷🏻♀️. All I know is I could relate to the MS bit in this video. I have several glasses with variable prisms in them and sometimes sharp pain when moving my eyes. I also have scoliosis and there lies a high correlation rate to MS. More will be revealed.
I have a diplopia and thank you very much for explaining and showing others how it feels to have double vision If you may see this comment could you explain to me if I can drive with diplopia or not? Because some says I can and some says I don't, and even with correcting glasses I still see double when my eyes are tired
It is two months since I had successful retina re-attachment surgery (vitrectomy). I now have double vision. Will it go away? If so, how long? Thanks. John
Me: has been seeing double for 9 1/2 years since my second eye surgery for strabismus Doctor Eye Health: There could be serious medical conditions associated with diplopia
I had a squint which was getting worse and worse. It was so bad, when I was driving down the motorway, my eye sight would suddenly jump to my other eye and my hands would literally jerk the steering wheel. I had to wear an eye patch to drive. The more tired I got, my double vision got worse. If I closed one eye (didn’t matter which), it went away. It was getting more and more frequent until I had surgery to correct my squint as it was past the degree where other corrections would have worked. Surgery was a bit freaky as I had to have it awake because I am not a good candidate for general anaesthesia, but it did the trick. It was the best decision I made.
Doc ... I've had brain tumor surgery very long back in 2002 ... I was 1 year old ... And docs told that I've got my right eye vision affected 80% coz of the tumor ... And I'm experiencing my right eye's vision towards my left side from the original image/vision ... I wish I could see you once ... I don't even know whether this problem can be treated or not ... (Keeping my case in mind) . I wish I could get it treated ... This kind of irritates me ...
Anisekonia and epiretinal membrane can also cause double vision and a loss of the ability to fuse the vision from both eyes. And opthamologists often miss both.
You explained strabismus really well. I am very reliable to everything you said. I think I will have a surgery this year or next year to strabismus. My eye doctor said a number when she asked if I waned surgery to have a surgery, and when she looked for movement. The ne was 40 she said that it what a lot. I have also tried prism and that did not work so yehhhh. You explain it really well for us to understand
I’ve just been diagnosed with Diplopia after my Cataracts operation. Apparently, I’ve had misaligned eyes which caused the double vision to show after my cataracts was removed. I’m only 29 and I really don’t like the idea of having to live with this all my life. Hopefully, it’s something that can be fixed. For now I am wearing a patch over the operated eye so I don’t get bothered by the diplopia.
Hi Dr. Allen, I just learned about you on our mastermind with Sean Cannell. My daughter has Strabismus and Amblyopia, and my son has Amblyopia from weak eyesight in one eye. I'll be watching through your channel for advice! -Glenn Allen
I do too. Its terrible I cant drive without covering one eye because I see 2 cars side by side but not the vertical double vision as he explains. Im super healthy and have no clue what is causing this.
Hi Dr Allen. I am a Danish student of Optometry. Regarding double vision and phorias, what is your prescribing recommendation for presbyopic patients with convergence insufficiency, who are not willing/able to do vision therapy? Do you recommend separate prism base in reading glasses, bifocals, PALs with base in prism, or something different? In that regard, do you know of any lens manufacturers who produce PALs with only prism in the reading segment? Hope to hear from you.
amazing question! I would usually prescribe either separate reading and distance glasses ( I feel this works best). You could also decenter the bifocal segments based on prentices rule. (thats a fun one). PALs are not recommended in that case. They could also consider fresnel prisms.
Bro, i think you almost graduated your college , can you cure my double vision?😅 okay . It is joke , but what would you suggest? Cause i live in Central Asia which health care is not very advanced , but i see, European people are suffering from it over numerous years😢
Help! I recently noticed that my vision is more of ghosting vision then double vision when I'm looking at electronics in my house. But when I'm outside I can see everything clearly and nothing is doubled. Help!
Respected Doctor, I am 40 years old and for 5 every 3 to 4 months I suffer from a blurred vision, each time a little more aggressive, with a spectrum or central shining horseshoe that after about 15 minutes advances to the left, allowing me to return to normality. It could guide me that it can be, before hand, thank you very much. ..
Thanks for the great question Paulo. Do you get a headache after it at all? Otherwise, does it look like this? th-cam.com/video/8NsI7RaPkco/w-d-xo.html
I guess I shouldn't complain, my double vision is slowly going away and was caused either by trauma to my left eye or head during a recent car accident (I was wearing my seat belt). I passed out (cause unknown, all tests negative), and had a low-speed collision (no airbags even). My passing out seemed to happen because my BP tanked, but then went very high. Now I very recently was recovering from Covid and took Paxlovid only a short time before accident, so there is some detective work to pursue there. A lot of mystery to me and my health care folks. If anyone also had weird things happen to their BP after Paxlovid, I'd love to hear from you.
This is happening with my left eye and is mainly present when reading text on a computer screen or in dark areas with a light moderately bright light source. It's been bugging me for a while as my work is mostly online, even before the pandemic.
My dad has an acute Diplopia, and after MRI and other tests necessary to rule out other issues, he is diagnosed with cranial nerve 3 palsy. Mononeuritis.

I'm from Brazil and I have this double vision since last century. I use this for make my art like a projector over the screen and actually this is my job. It's comfortable for me now, but I use to have headache for decades. In my channel I show how it works.
yeah my doctor told me i have some sort of muscle misalignment with my eyes that causes this. Contacts and glasses do help it a lot though but it never really goes sadly.
@@ralphborroel5684 Yes a little. I would say it's more similar to a ghost image slightly above the original image, so not full double vision. It's worse in the dark and when I squint. I'm not sure if it got better or if I'm just more adjusted to it, but I dont worry about it too much anymore.
@@fadedparadise1615 , it could be that you have High bad cholesterol, LDL. I went to the emergency room with double vision. They couldn't find anything wrong. They ruled out Stroke, MS, Infection, Aneurysm and Blood clots. They did tell me that my good cholesterol, HDL was low, and my bad cholesterol, LDL was high. I got released from the hospital after 2 days. I then went to an eye doctor at the Veteran's clinic. They couldn't find anything wrong, and gave me a Prism for the right eye in a distance pair of glasses. This doesn't help the problem, but causes a strain wearing a Prism for long periods of time. Well, after 2 months of this double vision, I started to eat better, some exercise, and over a weeks time the double vision is going away. I don't need to wear the Prism glasses to drive, which wasn't even helping too much anyways. Get your LDL, and HDL checked. If you have high bad cholesterol, LDL, then this also could be your issue. I think there is inflammation from high bad cholesterol in the blood supply to the eye or eyes. I hope this information can help you as it helped me.
What kind of doctor should a person see. I saw 3 ophthalmologists and they all said I had weak eye muscles and wanted to operate. I declined. Searching for an answer I saw a review on Amazon where a doctor recommended someone with split vision take minerals. I started taking a liquid mineral supplement and it helped me very much, but still I'm having the problem, especially when I'm tired. I want to see a doctor who will help me.
Are you by any chance doing simple exercises found on Google, like pencil push ups, or doctor prescribed vision therapy exercises/training regiments? Research shows that the most effective treatment is office based vision therapy. If this is indeed what you are doing, I recommend getting a second opinion at another clinic, or asking about prism glasses.
Very interesting to me as I have Hashimoto's and sometimes have double vision when watching someone from a distance. Sometimes my eyelids 'squeak' when I push on them....which I do when they have a gushy feeling...no clue what that is. Most prominent in my right eye - have a strange glaucoma in that eye since I was 21 know 72). My pressure rises really quickly.. highest 57. Once treated if goes away. Can't stay on drops or pressure drops to low. I monitor it by paying attention to eye pain, headache or seeing rainbow colors when I look at recessed lighting. Of course, I see my optomologist 2x a year. 😁 Appreciate your videos!
Hi , I am suffering from double vision since a week . It started when I rubbed my eyes one evening and went to roof and started looking up I saw two kites instead of one flying above my head. It's resolved now by ice packs and eye drops but now when I stretch my eyes and Gaze I see double objects the other one slightly above the main object. When I see normally j rarely see double vision or everytime I see single object. Pls help me 😅😥
I have that too. I'm 32 and it came out of nowhere when I was 28. Had an MRI to rule out any serious issues. Doctor has me working through some therapy but nothing helping a lot. It's worse when I lean my head back or look to the sides. It's hard to find others who have this. Felt a lone for a while
I get double vision on when I start some form of exercise other than that perfect eyes sight. Had mri done nothing found and eye tests all clear so wtf?? Been happening for years and I’m 31 now
I have ghosting vision. I've been to the eye doctor and they cant find anything wrong. I have glasses but they dont help with the ghosting issue. The doctor says my eyes are healthy
Hi do you still have this problem ? Did it got worse ? It's been few months since i have both double vision and ghosting it has made me very depressed. I've seen few doctors and they all say i'm fine
I had open heart surgery for an aortic dissection and aneurysm. When I left the hospital I had my first episode of double vision. The first three times it happened it was so severe that I couldn't tell what was happening exactlyto my vision. It seemed more like my eyes were independently moving and bluring everything, like my left eye was moving things up and curling to the right and my right moving down and curving to the left. It happened another time in the first week out of the hospital but it was much more mild and I could see it was a doubling (vertically) of my vision. Then it stopped for 4 weeks and then happened again, still mild and what I noticed at the end was if I close one eye the other is normal, only when both are open is it double. These episodes last anywhere from 1-3 mins and then clear up. I talked to nurses including a practitioner, a doctor and visited an ophthalmologist and I have no real answers.
This is exactly what happened to me today. I have had No surgery recently like you so not sure what the link is. Im getting tested but no answers as yet.
I have double vision for 5 years of my life, and still right now. And its so weird how you can split everything into two. And when i close one eye, the double vision isnt there, wth?
@@dondon-bl3jp Exactly my problem as well I cant focus in school and i get double vision all the time when I have both eyes open and even with only one eye vision is blurry.

I remember watching a great movie and my vision just split for the entire movie and my left eye started to feel heavy and it causes me have double vision
I had double vision and ptosis in my right eye due to myasthenia gravis and I went to a whole food plant based diet and after four months the symptoms went away. I reasoned that I had a leaky gut causing the autoimmune disorder. With the animal protein out of my diet I got better. Please do not discount importance of diet and it's influence on autoimmune disorders.
I recently had an I exam. I never thought of myself as having double vision. I noticed while doing the covering of one eye and reading the chart across the room that the smaller letters were fuzzy, but they were fuzzy because even though I was only using one eye at a time, the letters were fuzzy because they were slightly each doubled. The doctor didn't seem concerned at all. It was an America's Best though because I just cant afford anything else. So they really didn't do much more than figure what my new prescription needed to be. Should I be concerned? I appreciate your videos. Thank you.
@@brendashenda4249 unfortunately nothing. I don't have finances to seek any resolution. I do notice it's worse when my allergies act up and my eyes get watery. Pretty sure I've had it forever just didn't know any better. Sort of like when you live with a certain pain so long that after awhile your brain just sort of stops paying attention to. It doesn't go away it just becomes a norm for you.
@@chok1169 glad I'm not alone, but at the same time i only wish good things, especially health in all areas for everyone. Thanx for the reply my friend. Blessings!
I went to many doctors and they said you have nothing. I have had this disease for a year. I recommend that you have surgery when you have been sick for 6 months. I use my mobile to not feel headaches and dizziness. because what I see is normal. However, every doctor will tell you that you are fine, but if you are six months old, you will have to have surgery. otherwise your immediate vision will diminish. and you will take a mirror at the end like me. During my illness I learned a lot from you and so did you. But you have to have surgery. Although surgery is not a good idea, it is the only way to get rid of it. god bless you
I’ve had this for years and doctors told me to do some tests and if it doesn’t get better I need surgery, I really recommenced you doing tests like one finger near ur eye slowly and try to not make it double

I've been having double vision from about may or april. It is so frustrating!
Occasionally I get double vision in my right eye but it goes away in about 30 seconds if I close my left eye. I had shingles in my left eye three years ago so I’m pretty sure that happens because of the damage caused by that lovely virus. It’s not a problem but it’s kinda weird.

Wow... reading your comment marks exactly what I have going on. Neurologist diagnosed me with diplopia on April 23rd. Still waiting to see ophthalmologist in August. I've been dealing with this since January 2023 and just now getting appointments to see the kinda Dr's that can hopefully figure me out. I've went on short term disability while waiting and my disability checks are fixing to stop. I can't do my job with this illness because it's bad especially on ladders.

Awesome video and i love the way you explain everything. I'm an Spanish optometrist and i wish my teachers were as good as you are.
Nice thing about diplopia (corrected with prisms): I can take off my glasses and watch one movie twice in a sitting!

@@DoctorEyeHealth , I found out why I had double vision. The internet gave me the answer and the treatment. It was from sphenoid Sinusitis. My right eye had pain in the eye socket, and numbness to the right temple. I took Ibuprofen for the pain. Every 4 hours for over 2 days, then the pain lifted and went away completely. I stopped taking the pills on the 3rd day. Then just over a week, closer to 9 days, the double vision went away completely.
I found the answer on the internet, which several doctors could not find.
Wearing prisms to correct the double vision only made my situation worse. The glasses were straining my eyes.
Just pulled over panicked because I suddenly got double vision which I’ve never experienced before! After a minute, it’s subsided and yours is the first video I came across. Very scary, I had to cover one eye as I safely pulled over
Glad to hear it subsided. Hope you can visit an eye doctor soon to get things checked out.
Me too!!
I suffered from diplopia for almost 2 years. In January I decided to do a check up on my eyes and at first I got a brain MRI which ended up being normal. I also got blood tests for Miastenia Gravis and Thyroid diseases, but no clue of what was causing the diplopia. The ophthalmologist did the cover-uncover test and I was diagnosed with left esotropia. I wore prism glasses for almost a year and yesterday finally I was able to get surgery. I’m still seeing double but the doctor said it takes like a month to my muscles and brain to adjusts themselves. Now I’m just hoping for the best.
Is it Ok now?
Update??
Hi, could you update for the situations? I will take a surgery soon, felt so scared :(
@@steffanyhuangga1577 Hi! it’s uncomfortable for the most part, and my diplopia improved a lot but it’s not 100% cured :(
@@leporiddae :( Oh god, that sounds sucks. I feel you, Hope you will be cured soon.
Mine was not improving as well and i'm still waiting for my doctor, she has been in a 2 months leave.
My doctor diagnosed with grave’s disease around age 5 and I had my thymus gland removed. After that I don’t remember struggling with my vision anymore but then around age 14-15 I started having double vision out of nowhere which was when I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism/ myasthenia gravis. I had a thyroidectomy surgery at age 20 which did help reduce my double vision but now I have blurry vision all the time and double vision only when I drive and watch tv. I’m so tired of it :(
Omg. That’s horrible. I only experienced double vision with new glasses, went back to my old ones and it went away.
I'm right there in the same shoes you are in...exactly!
Have you found the cause yet? I have my eye exam in August 2024
I'm very eager to here of any results you have found. I'm so tired of it myself. It's driving, watching TV, and also other times as well.
i've actually had double vision since i was born - when you're adopted, they usually tell the person who's taking you in what conditions you have if you have any, and they told my mom i had an eye condition.
Sorry to hear that. Do you still see double?
@@DoctorEyeHealth yes i do. when i was a baby you could clearly see a lazy eye, as my left (?) eye is the one that distances away. i got older and learned to control it. now im fifteen, and it happens when i zone out.
Same.
I have always been able to force this to happen on command since I can remember.
noahmeme2 me too
Same

this could be strabismus... i remember being able to do this before strabismus surgery but now it just makes my vision blurry... except i allways see double any way
@@radioserpent same problem. none of the doctors believed me. Every time, I am feeling that I am trying to convince them. And I feel stupid because I always fail to do so.
Im 64 years old and have unknowningly dealt with double vision for about 60 years of that time. The problem became a more significant problem when by chance i was getting prescription glass for blurred vision which is typical for someone of my age.
I mentioned to the opthomologist I see double vision and i was prescribed glasses to rectify the blurred vision and also correct the diagonal double vision. (Prisims)
Result was great i finally resolved a life long learning and reading problem.
However this fix was not without side affects, now my eyes have adapted to the prisms and glasses and my brain can't correct the day to day vision it had encounter without the glasses which it had been doing for the previous 60 years!
I'm a keen surfer and it has become much more difficult to surf or conduct a casual conversation without the glasses.
This side affect isn't discussed by this fellow and by the specialist who would offer a surgical option. I elected not have surgery and will deal with the known not some partial remedy which is the best they offer.
I'm now considering removing the prism from the glasses and accessing the pros and cons of the prism and no prisms.
As long as you know what your dealing with you can adapt.

So helpful, thank you very much for this overview.
Graves and double vision for past two years. Long process so I am currently using a patch and have an appointment with a surgeon in December. Thanks for the info and keep up the good work on TH-cam.
Thanks for sharing! Is your double vision constant then?
@@DoctorEyeHealth Yes, double vision is constant. MG ruled out this summer. Prisms no longer work since I have about 30 degrees of vertical separation.
Great explanation, Doc. Troubleshooting double vision can be tedious work. We have a couple of orthoptists on staff that are AMAZING. Keep up the great work!
What's an orthoptist?
Hello! Can I please talk to you?
I had double vision recently, treated by Moorfields, excellent.
My problem was with the IV nerve.
Found your video very helpful and informative.
I always thought that when people crossed their eyes, it was the same thing as double vision but when one of my classmates told me to try to cross my eyes, I forced double vision and thought I was successful but apparently nothing happened from their perspective.
Exotropia over here! Glasses for 17 years and just realized double vision has almost always been in play - excited for new prism lenses on the way!
What's the alternative to double vision?
I had diplopia 8 yrs ago. I think it was due to lack of proper sleep and anxiety and this was all because of bad company. My left eye got squint but right eye was ok. So I had horizontal double vision. It lasted for approximately one month. I was admitted in hospital, done MRI and venography and then some medicine and finally eye exercises.
You got help. I went to the ER and two ophthalmologists but zero empathy zero suggestions for treatment. Nothing. I'm suffering and no one is trying to help.
@@peekaboots01I'm also having the same problem
@@peekaboots01what about eye exercises? It’s called vision therapy. Have you looked it up to see what neuro optometrist is in your area?
8 years? 😱😱 bro you are scarying me , i had it only approximately 4 years, and my vision is -2 and -2.5 . Do you wear glasses too?
I have it now for a couple of weeks. MRI is set for this week. Thanks so much you are wonderful.
I recently started suffering double vision, but unlike any of the cases discussed in this video, it was split vision, only in my right eye. I actually had just been to my optometrists a month before and at that point did not have anything like that at that point. Then suddeny, I woke up to double vision, only in my right eye. Plainly, it has nothing to do with alignment of the eyes, since it only effected the one eye. The weirdest part about it is that some days it is quite severe, and some days, like today, my vision is almost normal. It is not an anomaly with the surface of the eye, as it changes, and is uneffected by wearing contacts. In fact there is no difference, no matter which pair of lenses (clear or colored), or if I am wearing my glasses. About 2-3 months ago, I had a similar thing happen. I woke up to double vision, once again, only in my right eye, but it lasted only part of the day, then went away. But this time it has lasted several weeks. I will be calling my eye doctor, but if you had a patient with these issues, what would you suspect could be causing it? 2 heads are better than 1!
I have this problem in my left eye too. Let me know if you got something!
You have monocular diplopia
I think it has to do something with anxiety and stress. What did you find about it tho?
A simple add on prism stopped my double vision.....after suffering for a few years.Great advice Doctor.
Glad to hear things are going better. What is the double from?
@@DoctorEyeHealth I had eye problems ever since I can remember from age 4. When I was told I now had strabismus after living with it for a few years I spoke to a great eye surgeon in Toronto and told I was not a good candidate for surgery because my vision changes so often. He sent me to his associate in the same building where this man applied a fresnel prism to my right lens on my glasses and asked me to look at the light on the ceiling and tell him how many I saw I said just one and then broke down and cried.Sorry to go on but to me it was like a miracle.You do great work and thanks and love and a lot of HOPE from Canada.
Prisms caused my double vision. Relaxed my strabismus too much and I no longer correct myself. 0:52 @@DoctorEyeHealth
Bro you are gay
Thank you so much for the wonderful explanation.
b12 deficiency can also cause double vision. multiple sclerosis can be falsely diagnosed when you have b12 deficiency. other b vitamin deficiencies such as B1 and B2 can also cause eye nerve related issues (neuropathy). vitamin A and omega 3 deficiency can cause dry eyes thus bad vision. good to know these.
Yes with neurolgia, get diplopia sometimes if really tired. Or when toric contact lenses shift.
I have always had trouble seeing double when very tired, i remember going cross-eyed in school while falling asleep in economics class.
Have long term neurological issues from chemotherapy and BMT. But yes when super tired do get mild diplopia.
Watching this and all I can see is you to the next of you when I blink a couple times and focus on you it helps
Interesting thyroid connection, I recently was exhibiting multiple symptoms, one was blurred vision, long story short after weeks of bewilderment it turns out I was accidentally not taking my Levothyroxine to treat my HYPO thyroid condition, for a period of weeks/months (mixed up Rx bottles) but my eyes are swollen and sunken not protruding which I believe is a symptom of HYPER thyroid disease. I would love to hear your thoughts! So happy I’ve found your channel.
I know I'm replying to a two year old comment but you're right and this information might be helpful to other people. Hyperthyroidism, or Thyrotoxicosis, is a condition that causes the thyroid to produce too much of the hormone Thyroxine and is linked to the bulging eyes, a condition called Proptosis.
I have experience of this and received radioactive iodine treatment to cure it. I no longer have an over-active Thyroid and the bulging eyes returned to normal.
I think i have this!! Accept i can control it so I can do it when I want.
Mi too I have normal eyes but I can did use to see double only if I wanted...and it is from my childhood..till now..., 24year old mi...
That’s how I’ve been seeing since elementary, I’m 22 now
My wife has developed double vision for about a month now. We got an MRI to rule out stroke , MS or tumor. Now seeking help of neuro opthalmologist. Also she suffers from Hashimotos Hypo Thyroidism and is taking a specially compounded thyroid medication called Tirosint 25 mg daily. Hoping that is the answer. Love how simply you explain everything. Thank you.
I have double vision from like a year i have gone to like 3 doctors for eye exam they say ur eyes are fine
Keep trying until you find the right doctor(s). All last year they had tunnel vision on my high eye pressures (thinking it was Glaucoma) but they ignored my Graves and double vision. Finally found the right doctor at our university. (Which they are sending me to another university for the surgeon.) Michigan State and U of Michigan.

I am 54 and when I was 16 I had Buckle surgery in both eyes for detached retina(one week apart) I complained about double vision from the time I had that surgery.. the finger test failed me.. I went to the Don Arnold for the blind in Houston Texas and they detected it and put Prisms to correct it on the eye glasses. The damage from the surgery, floaters that can’t be corrected and cataracts that I don’t qualify to have surgery .. has been a struggle all these years…
This happens when I drink way too much whiskey and drive my tractor trailer through the mountains. I find that wearing an eye patch helps and chicks really seem to dig it too. The worst is when both eyes have double vision (x4) and I'm forced to drive faster to get to my destination and get off the road and away from the maniacs that are texting and driving.
I've had double vision for years now. Been screened for MS and MG. My one doc thinks its caused by a dent in the back of my skill from a fall I had when I was 10. She said there's an optic nerve back there thats responsible for focus 🤷🏻♀️. All I know is I could relate to the MS bit in this video. I have several glasses with variable prisms in them and sometimes sharp pain when moving my eyes. I also have scoliosis and there lies a high correlation rate to MS. More will be revealed.
I have a diplopia and thank you very much for explaining and showing others how it feels to have double vision
If you may see this comment could you explain to me if I can drive with diplopia or not? Because some says I can and some says I don't, and even with correcting glasses I still see double when my eyes are tired
For driving you would need to wear prism glasses. Have the glasses in your car.
Awesome video. Thank you for the information.
It is two months since I had successful retina re-attachment surgery (vitrectomy). I now have double vision. Will it go away? If so, how long? Thanks. John
Me: has been seeing double for 9 1/2 years since my second eye surgery for strabismus
Doctor Eye Health: There could be serious medical conditions associated with diplopia
I had a squint which was getting worse and worse. It was so bad, when I was driving down the motorway, my eye sight would suddenly jump to my other eye and my hands would literally jerk the steering wheel. I had to wear an eye patch to drive.
The more tired I got, my double vision got worse. If I closed one eye (didn’t matter which), it went away. It was getting more and more frequent until I had surgery to correct my squint as it was past the degree where other corrections would have worked.
Surgery was a bit freaky as I had to have it awake because I am not a good candidate for general anaesthesia, but it did the trick. It was the best decision I made.
I had doubles vision ti'll about after 2 months when quarantine started
back to normal?
Doc ... I've had brain tumor surgery very long back in 2002 ... I was 1 year old ... And docs told that I've got my right eye vision affected 80% coz of the tumor ... And I'm experiencing my right eye's vision towards my left side from the original image/vision ... I wish I could see you once ... I don't even know whether this problem can be treated or not ... (Keeping my case in mind) . I wish I could get it treated ... This kind of irritates me ...
So interesting. One more great video!
Thanks for watching Sofia!
Anisekonia and epiretinal membrane can also cause double vision and a loss of the ability to fuse the vision from both eyes. And opthamologists often miss both.
You explained strabismus really well. I am very reliable to everything you said. I think I will have a surgery this year or next year to strabismus. My eye doctor said a number when she asked if I waned surgery to have a surgery, and when she looked for movement. The ne was 40 she said that it what a lot. I have also tried prism and that did not work so yehhhh. You explain it really well for us to understand
Thank you Akalya. I hope your surgery goes well. Do you have double vision with your strabismus?
Doctor Eye Health i actually don’t have double vision with my strabismus, but I have a lot of headaches.
I have not had that problem, thank goodness.
I’ve just been diagnosed with Diplopia after my Cataracts operation. Apparently, I’ve had misaligned eyes which caused the double vision to show after my cataracts was removed. I’m only 29 and I really don’t like the idea of having to live with this all my life. Hopefully, it’s something that can be fixed. For now I am wearing a patch over the operated eye so I don’t get bothered by the diplopia.
How are you doing now? Still have double

I see double vision literally 24-7. It actually comes in handy sometimes.
Wait what? How?
I do too. Its terrible I cant drive without covering one eye because I see 2 cars side by side but not the vertical double vision as he explains. Im super healthy and have no clue what is causing this.
I have it especially evening and nights, it worsens double vision to double times😅
Now im suffering from double vision from 1 month .how long it will stay?
Is it possible to somehow control when you want to see double vision? I seem to have control and I know when I'm doing it on purpose vs accidentally.
I am experencing double vision. This recently has started in 73 year old eyes.
Hi Dr Allen.
I am a Danish student of Optometry.
Regarding double vision and phorias, what is your prescribing recommendation for presbyopic patients with convergence insufficiency, who are not willing/able to do vision therapy?
Do you recommend separate prism base in reading glasses, bifocals, PALs with base in prism, or something different? In that regard, do you know of any lens manufacturers who produce PALs with only prism in the reading segment?
Hope to hear from you.
amazing question! I would usually prescribe either separate reading and distance glasses ( I feel this works best). You could also decenter the bifocal segments based on prentices rule. (thats a fun one). PALs are not recommended in that case. They could also consider fresnel prisms.

I guess I shouldn't complain, my double vision is slowly going away and was caused either by trauma to my left eye or head during a recent car accident (I was wearing my seat belt). I passed out (cause unknown, all tests negative), and had a low-speed collision (no airbags even). My passing out seemed to happen because my BP tanked, but then went very high. Now I very recently was recovering from Covid and took Paxlovid only a short time before accident, so there is some detective work to pursue there. A lot of mystery to me and my health care folks. If anyone also had weird things happen to their BP after Paxlovid, I'd love to hear from you.
I can make it happen by choice, dunno what it is but when you did the double vision effect I was seeing 4 haha
Yeah bro me too
I just got prism glasses, fixes my double visions
This is happening with my left eye and is mainly present when reading text on a computer screen or in dark areas with a light moderately bright light source. It's been bugging me for a while as my work is mostly online, even before the pandemic.

yeah my doctor told me i have some sort of muscle misalignment with my eyes that causes this. Contacts and glasses do help it a lot though but it never really goes sadly.
Do you still have double vision?
@@ralphborroel5684 Yes a little. I would say it's more similar to a ghost image slightly above the original image, so not full double vision. It's worse in the dark and when I squint. I'm not sure if it got better or if I'm just more adjusted to it, but I dont worry about it too much anymore.
@@fadedparadise1615 , it could be that you have High bad cholesterol, LDL.
I went to the emergency room with double vision. They couldn't find anything wrong. They ruled out Stroke, MS, Infection, Aneurysm and Blood clots. They did tell me that my good cholesterol, HDL was low, and my bad cholesterol, LDL was high. I got released from the hospital after 2 days. I then went to an eye doctor at the Veteran's clinic. They couldn't find anything wrong, and gave me a Prism for the right eye in a distance pair of glasses. This doesn't help the problem, but causes a strain wearing a Prism for long periods of time.
Well, after 2 months of this double vision, I started to eat better, some exercise, and over a weeks time the double vision is going away. I don't need to wear the Prism glasses to drive, which wasn't even helping too much anyways.
Get your LDL, and HDL checked. If you have high bad cholesterol, LDL, then this also could be your issue. I think there is inflammation from high bad cholesterol in the blood supply to the eye or eyes.
I hope this information can help you as it helped me.

Are you by any chance doing simple exercises found on Google, like pencil push ups, or doctor prescribed vision therapy exercises/training regiments?
Research shows that the most effective treatment is office based vision therapy.

I had open heart surgery for an aortic dissection and aneurysm. When I left the hospital I had my first episode of double vision. The first three times it happened it was so severe that I couldn't tell what was happening exactlyto my vision. It seemed more like my eyes were independently moving and bluring everything, like my left eye was moving things up and curling to the right and my right moving down and curving to the left. It happened another time in the first week out of the hospital but it was much more mild and I could see it was a doubling (vertically) of my vision. Then it stopped for 4 weeks and then happened again, still mild and what I noticed at the end was if I close one eye the other is normal, only when both are open is it double. These episodes last anywhere from 1-3 mins and then clear up. I talked to nurses including a practitioner, a doctor and visited an ophthalmologist and I have no real answers.
This is exactly what happened to me today. I have had No surgery recently like you so not sure what the link is. Im getting tested but no answers as yet.

Multiple sclerosis I was diagnosed with double vision yet I didn't know or know about it.
I recently had an I exam. I never thought of myself as having double vision. I noticed while doing the covering of one eye and reading the chart across the room that the smaller letters were fuzzy, but they were fuzzy because even though I was only using one eye at a time, the letters were fuzzy because they were slightly each doubled. The doctor didn't seem concerned at all. It was an America's Best though because I just cant afford anything else. So they really didn't do much more than figure what my new prescription needed to be. Should I be concerned? I appreciate your videos. Thank you.

@@coolnegative bro I just recently realized that I see a slightly double of the letters in one eye.
@@chok1169 glad I'm not alone, but at the same time i only wish good things, especially health in all areas for everyone. Thanx for the reply my friend. Blessings!
I went to many doctors and they said you have nothing. I have had this disease for a year. I recommend that you have surgery when you have been sick for 6 months. I use my mobile to not feel headaches and dizziness. because what I see is normal. However, every doctor will tell you that you are fine, but if you are six months old, you will have to have surgery. otherwise your immediate vision will diminish. and you will take a mirror at the end like me. During my illness I learned a lot from you and so did you. But you have to have surgery. Although surgery is not a good idea, it is the only way to get rid of it. god bless you
I’ve had this for years and doctors told me to do some tests and if it doesn’t get better I need surgery, I really recommenced you doing tests like one finger near ur eye slowly and try to not make it double
