What is Double Vision?

Diplopia, also known as double vision, is a condition in which a person sees two images of a single object. The two images can appear side by side, vertically stacked, or diagonal. Diplopia results when the eyes do not point in the same direction. Both kids and adults can experience diplopia.

Common causes of double vision are:

Age: Older adults may experience double vision due to age-related changes in the eyes, eye muscles, or nerves.
Eye Muscle Disorders: Strabismus (an eye turn) can cause double vision or other congenital conditions such as a 4th nerve palsy.
Neurological Disorders: Diplopia can result from stroke, multiple sclerosis, thyroid issues, or brain tumors.
Trauma or Injury: Head injuries, such as concussions or trauma to the eye or surrounding structures, can result in double vision.

Treatments for double vision can include:

Glasses
Contact lenses
Prism lenses
Vision Therapy
Occlusion
Surgery

My first eye exam in fifteen years. I am so thankful that I found Insight Vision Center. Dr. Lam and staff made me feel like a welcome guest. My eye exam revealed very minor blurriness and Dr. Lam did not pressure me into purchasing eyewear for a condition not necessitating glasses… yet. Maybe next year? I am getting older. They took my VSP insurance. Yay!

Dr. Lam and staff are amazing. Every phone call or interaction is friendly. You can feel the smiles and joy over whatever mode of communication you are interacting with them. Dr. Lam is very knowledgeable and helps you to better understand everything that is going on with your eyes. She made me aware of potential problems I may have with my eyes and walked me through every step of the process. She helped me understand the various factors that could be causing my vision to be a little impaired and followed up with me as I had to see an ophthalmologist. Great team, great office.
