Question: does the person that have diplopia get their eyes tired easily? i have physiological diplopia then my eyes get easily tired? it is normal?

Answer: Physiological diplopia is a natural occurance and so would not tire your eyes. Nearly all people have physiological diplopia and it causes no symptoms at all

Question: Where should I go to find out if I have diplopia? Anywhere specific? I am noticing double vision with my new contacts. I also notice it somewhat with my contacts out, kind of hard to tell because my eyes are so blurry. I also told my doctor about my double vision and he switched me to torics ( I have astigmatism) but the double vision is still there sometimes. I just want to know where I can go to see if I have diplopia at all.

Answer: you can go to your regular eye doctor. They may send you to a vision therapist, or change your contacts, or in a some cases will send someone with diplopia to surgeon but i don't think it sounds like you need a surgeon. It sounds like the power in your contacts is off

Question: How does the army check for diplopia(double vision)? How does the army check for diplopia(double vision) i have it very slightly in one eye. it only occurs when i look all the way down, its not noticable but how do they check?

Answer: They check for it as part of the standard eye exam at MEPS. Not sure how they do it but the Doctors at MEPS are VERY good at finding things.

Question: How dangerous is diplopia (or double vision)? I think I have these double visions on certain occasions like when I'm very tired. For some reason now I can voluntarily make myself see in double vision. When I squint, I can see in double vision, especially at night. I have learned that if I have my eyes a little more open, I can avoid double vision.

Answer: double vision can be normal, like for instance hold a pen up and focus on the pen, you will notice everything behind it is double, now focus something behind the pen, the pen will be double. Double when you are tired can be many reasons, your eyes are going different direction. you can do some vision therapy to help this. Are you doing lots of near work when you see double? Visit your optometrist and they should be able to help check your vision and provide vision therapy that can help you.

Question: what does medical term intemmittent diplopia mean? Went to opthalmologist and he said that is probably what is wrong with my eye.

Answer: It means double vision that comes and goes.

Question: how can i cure my physiological diplopia? recently i ask a question here and someone answers me that i have this! So my question now how can i cure this?

Answer: Physiological diplopia is a natural occurrence and everybody experiences this. It is a sign that the eyes are working as they should do. It is not an abnormal condition adn so it is not something that needs to be cured.

Question: do you know which song plays at the end of witchblade episode Diplopia? It is not blue oyster cult (don't fear the reaper) as i found, it is a different song-ballad

Answer: 8 songs listed for season 1 episode 4 "Diplopia" http://www.tv.com/witchblade/diplopia/ep… scroll down to the (NOTES) section

Question: what is causing my monocular diplopia? Ok, I have monocular diplopia in my left eye. It is a split second second image only when i shift my eye out of the left. It it more pronounced on highly lighted/contrasted object. For example, If I look only out of my left eye and look at a white line on a chalk board, i will see a quick flash of a second image before i see the first one. It's almost like im getting some weird reflection; its driving me crazy! Anyone have any idea?

Answer: Some causes of monocular diplopia are astigmatism and cataracts. You will need to see an eye doctor to figure this out.

Question: Would needing glasses cause intermittent binocular diplopia? I've noticed over the past... I'm not even sure. Month or so maybe? I've started to get diplopia. Could I just need glasses...?

Answer: It sound like you should have an eye exam. The doctor will let you know if eyeglasses are needed or if you are experiencing a different issue.

Question: Am suffering from physiological diplopia.Any one here suffering.How it can be cured? Physiological diplopia means single object appears double when not in focus. Any 1 suffering 4m this plz help.

Answer: I suffer from it on occasion but it is due mostly to my bi-focal lenses. The problem is correctable with surgery or prism lenses.

Question: what is the treatment for diplopia resulting due to orbital fracture? what is the treatment modalities for strabismus occuring due to trauma

Answer: Double vision Treatment Treatment for double vision will depend on the cause. Squints causing double vision can be corrected by wearing prescription glasses, eye exercises, surgery, or a combination of the three. For most children with double vision caused by squint, the outlook is excellent if the condition is detected and treated early. It is much more difficult to correct double vision caused by a squint if it continues into adult life. By then your brain may have learnt to see independently with each eye and may no longer be able to fuse the two pictures into one. In this case, your brain normally copes with the problem by suppressing, or forgetting, one of the two images. The result is that your double vision does disappear, but your ability to judge depth in what you see will be badly affected. How long your double vision lasts will depend on its cause. For example, over time cataracts may begin to cause double vision, but can be corrected immediately with surgery. Diabetes can cause double vision by damaging the nerves that control eye movement. However, the damaged nerves often re-grow after several months and as they do, your double vision will gradually disappear. People with astigmatism can wear special contact lenses that correct the double vision immediately. Strabismus Introduction A squint (strabismus) is a condition of the eye that causes one of the eyes to turn inwards (converge), outwards (diverge) or sometimes upwards, while the other eye looks forward. The cause, severity, and direction of a squint varies from person to person. It is usually spotted in childhood, sometimes within weeks of a baby being born, and affects 5-8% of children (1-2 in every 30). Strabismus Treatment A squint is a condition that should be treated as soon as possible after it is detected. Treatment is most effective in very young children. A squint will not disappear as the child gets older, and in fact the sight in the affected eye will gradually get worse. There are several types of treatment available: * If your child is long-sighted, glasses may be prescribed which can often correct the long sight and the squint. * Alternatively, a patch may need to be worn over the good eye, to encourage the eye with the squint to work harder and become trained to work properly. * In some cases, the squint can be treated with special eye drops, or with eye exercises. If none of these treatments help, then surgery may be required. Surgery for a squint involves moving the muscles attached to the outside of the eye to a new position. It may sometimes be necessary to operate on both eyes in order to 'balance' them effectively, even if the squint is only in one eye. There is no chance of the child's eyesight being damaged by this operation, as the surgery does not touch the focussing part of the eye. When your child has returned home, they will need to use eye drops for a short time. The nurse will show you how to do this before you leave the hospital.

Question: What happens is I leave diplopia untreated? Can I go blind if i leave it? Now please I am too scared to ask an eye doctor...

Answer: Check out this website it had alot of info on it that may answer your questions http://www.webmd.com/eye-health/double-v…

Question: does eye patches can cure physiological diplopia? does it works because when i close my one eye my vision is good than when staring with two eyes. (2)and my eyes get easily tired is'nt it because of my eye problem?. pls help me! pls answer my two questions!

Answer: Physiological diplopia is a natural occurrence and everybody experiences this. It is a sign that the eyes are working as they should do. It is not an abnormal condition and so it is not something that needs to be cured. If it is physiological diplopia then patching will not be of any benefit because it is normal.

Question: Monocular diplopia caused by ORTHOK night only Contact LENS? !!!Urgent -- Help!!! My son had ORTHOKERATOLOGY night only Contact LENS (made by C&E GP Specialist) from Jan. 2001 to June 2007. He discontinued such ORTHOK lens on June 13, 2007 and suffers from the double vision (Monocular diplopia) especially the right eye. He has visited three doctors since June 16, 2007. and they told the reporter that after discontinued ORTHK lens, the status of his eye will be reverse in 1-2 weeks or several months. But after four full month of discontinued ORTHK lens, his double vision (Monocular diplopia) especially the right eye is progressive. One post on FDA web site is similar to our case. That post link is http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfMAUDE/Detail.CFM?MDRFOI__ID=274073. My son and parents worry about it very much and also he is suffering. I am trying to find the explanation/solution to this Monocular diplopia. Thanks a lot.

Answer: Ortho K lenses create deliberate pressure on the cornea overnight, encouraging (forcing?) it to adopt a shape nearer to that required for zero refractive error. It's always seemed to me like trying to change your shoe size by deliberately wearing shoes that are too small, but I admit to being old-fashioned and sceptical. Time is going to be the principle healer here. If the monocular diplopia is due to a local distortion of the cornea, as seems likely, then almost instant relief from the optical effects should be obtainable by the use of a rigid gas permeable contact lens in the day-time. The drawbacks of this would be cost, as the lens might need refitting at fairly short intervals as the cornea changed shape, and slowing the final stabilisation of the cornea, as the cornea would be operating with the normal contact lens induced reduction in oxygen supply. The optical benefit might outweigh the above. If stability or comfort is a problem, lenses do exist with a rigid centre and a soft skirt, but they are far from cheap. The above is only general advice as much would depend on the actual measurements (topography) and condition of the cornea. I've seen distorted corneas from badly fitting or overworn ordinary GP lenses that took six months to show a stable Rx after discontinuing their use, sometime requiring new spectacle lenses every month. But that was near the worst-case limit. Usually 1-3 months sufficed. Optometrist, retired.

Question: A person that was diagnosed with diplopia died 2 months after the diagnose. What could have caused her death? This happened in 1917. She was diagnosed with diplopia and two months later died. What could the reason be? Paralysis also affected her body. Also, if you could elaborate in the whole process of the possible decease or cause (how could have been these 2 months for this specific person) I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Answer: Diplopia is a symptom that could be caused by many things: * Brain tumor * Multiple sclerosis * Myasthenia gravis * Graves' ophthalmopathy * Botulism * Microvascular infarction * Internal carotid aneurysm * Brainstem infarct * Neurosyphilis * Sarcoidosis * Orbital cellulitis * Sphenoid sinusitis * Ophthalmoplegic migraine (type of Migraine) * Temporal arteritis * Medication side effect Her death may also have been unrelated to the diplopia. (People can have a neurologic disease, and drop dead of a heart attack. They die WITH the disease, not OF the disease.) It's really hard to speculate without further information.

Question: i'm 6 months experiencing physiological diplopia does it normal? everytime i staring the thing that i'm not focusing on was doubled. Does it normal my head was aching because of thinking of this!

Answer: If you're staring through an object such as a cell phone, you will see it double because you have two eyes and you changed your focus point. But if it's a bit too intense and you're getting headaches from your vision, you may need an optical aid like contacts or glasses.

Question: ther has developed diplopia. he has no problem seeing close objects but he sees things in 3 meters double? do you know why and what can be done?

Answer: Development of diplopia often suggests strabismus, not amblyopia (which is developmental dysfunction of the visual center within the brain). If the eye otherwise functions normally (i.e. monocular visual acuity is normal), then it is likely that there may be extraocular muscle dysfunction, in which eye muscles may be overly-contracted, or not contracting properly, resulting in misalignment of the eyes, in this case with eyes deviated toward midline. If treatable, surgical correction of the extraocular dysfunction is typically the method.

Question: Information about voluntary diplopia? I have voluntary diplopia all my life but can't find hardly any information about it. What it means is, i can un-sync by eyes and give myself double vision and then turn it off again, just like flicking a switch. Is it dangerous? what causes me to be able to do this? should i get it fixed?

Answer: No, it's not dangerous. It's just one of those little "talents" that some folks have....like wiggling your ears or turning up the sides of your tongue. All the best.

Question: Double upwards diplopia, only on bright objects? I've been experiencing this for almost 7 years now and the doctor's have either been baffled or didn't believe me. I've been to multiple different optical doctors, and the last one I went to sent me to get two different MRIs. Both MRIs turned out normal, and now I will be returning to my doctor. However, I really have no idea what is wrong with me, no one seems to. Does anyone know anything about what could possibly be wrong with me? It's not a tumor or a cyst...

Answer: Does your binocular dyplopia come from the 3rd, 4th or 6th cranial nerves?
