| | Diplopia |
 | | Other forms of diplopia may be treated with a new glasses prescription, prisms, vision therapy or eye muscle surgery. | | | Because the causes and treatments of diplopia are so numerous, it is crucial that patients experiencing double vision undergo a comprehensive eye exam (including a review of medical history) with their eye doctor. | | | Monocular diplopia occurs when a patient experiences double vision (or more likely distortion) even when one eye is closed. |

| | Diplopia |
| | Historical details such as associated medical conditions, the nature of the onset of the diplopia, any prior occurrences, and the presence of absence of pain should be noted. | | | Causes may be from inappropriate motion of the globe (mechanical impediment or neuromuscular problem); cranial nerve dysfunction either from impairment of the cranial nerve itself or cortical dysfunction. | | | DeMyer suggests identifying the position of maximum diplopia and then identifying the eye that the false image is originating from by covering and uncovering the eye. |

| | If the patient experiences severe head pain at the onset of diplopia and ophthalmoplegia, an aneurysm may be compressing the nerve. | | | A thorough history is perhaps the most important part of the exam when a patient presents with diplopia. | | | Once you’ve determined that the cause of the patient’s diplopia is neurogenic, you’ll then need to determine the cranial nerve that’s involved. |

| | Diplopia, or double vision, is the perception of the same image in two different visual directions, and can be debilitating. | | | Eye therapy is aimed at realigning the misaligned eye when possible without surgery, and restimulating the part of the visual pathway to the brain that is not working correctly. | | | Surgery relieves diplopia and visual confusion, restores or establishes depth perception, expands the visual field, and improves psychosocial function and employability. |

| | This helps to determine which eye muscle is responsible for diplopia; normal contraction of the medial rectus muscle produces adduction, while abduction is caused by the lateral rectus muscle. | | | Monocular diplopia must be distinguished from metamorphopsia, a condition in which objects appear misshapen. | | | Medicine is a constantly changing science and not all therapies are clearly established. |

| | Diplopia is a visual disorder that results in double vision, such that when the viewer looks at an object it seems as if there are two objects. | | | It can arise when the eye muscles are not functioning as intended, and the eyes are not correctly aligned while focusing on an object. | | | In that case, the multiple vision can be caused by defects in other parts of the vision system, such as the (A transparent optical device used to converge or diverge transmitted light and to form images) lens. |

| | You should promptly seek professional medical care if you have any concern about your health, and you should always consult your physician before starting a fitness regimen. | | | Diplopia is double vision caused by a defective function of the extraocular muscles or a disorder of the nerves that innervate (stimulate) the muscles. | | | A transient episode of diplopia is usually of no clinical significance, indicating only a brief relaxation of the fusion mechanism of the central nervous system that maintains straightness. |
