Double Vision Treatment Overview
Double vision, or diplopia, is a condition where a person sees two images of a single object. Treatment varies based on whether the double vision is monocular or binocular, focusing on the underlying causes.
Monocular Double Vision Treatments
- Astigmatism: Corrective glasses or contact lenses.
- Laser Surgery: Reshapes the cornea to enhance vision.
- Cataracts: Surgery to remove cataracts.
- Dry Eye: Uses artificial tears for relief.
Binocular Double Vision Treatments
- Glasses or Contact Lenses: Updated prescriptions can aid vision.
- Prism Glasses: Helps to realign images.
- Eye Patching: Temporarily covering an eye to manage symptoms.
- Surgery: To correct misalignment or underlying issues.
If you experience sudden double vision, consult an eye care specialist for an evaluation and treatment options.
