THE CLEAR VISION GUIDE

Double vision (DIPLOPIA) explained

Seeing two images of one object.

Eyes and vision

How to understand it

Whether it remains when one eye is covered is useful information for a clinician. The pattern does not safely determine the cause at home.

An example

Describe when it started and whether it is constant. Sudden double vision, especially with other symptoms, needs urgent medical advice.

A common mix-up

Do not dismiss new double vision as ordinary adaptation or choose prism yourself.
