    WHAT IS DISCUSSED IN THIS VIDEO:
    A lot of people can experience double vision some time in their life. Some causes of double vision can be from a more serious condition. A lot of times double vision can be from a Binocular Vision Disorder or a Binocular Vision Dysfunction. This were people may have muscle or nerve issues that
    cause a misalignment of eye muscles. Other causes can be from tumors or masses in the brain or around the eyes, or autoimmune disorders. What ever the cause, it's important to see your eye doctor to determine the cause, and determine the proper treatment.

    I have functional neurological disorder (FND) which is becoming popular unfortunately but usually goes misdiagnosed. I have had double vision 11/2 year and I have day and night. Also my left eye is bulging out and my right eye droops to the point that closes off. My neuro-ophthalmologist has diagnosed me with TED but I’m curious to know if you @DrEyeGuy have seen a case of TED where only one protrudes?

    Thank you for your video, full of good information. I've have had Eye nerve palsy 3 times (2018, 2021, 2023) and although after much test and MRI's doctors are not sure why (I do have hyper tension but controlled) However, although it may sound outrageous I can relate all three occurrences to getting cold mist/splash water from 1)lake, 2)ocean and last one 3)cold water ride, into my eye. In each case I remember feeling pain during the water event. In each occurrence after the event, about two weeks later I would get the eye nerve palsy. Which normally resolves itself 6-8 weeks. To the point where I no longer bathe in lakes/ocean when there is a chill/wind in the air, and I stopped doing cold water amusement rides. So I'm wondering if I susceptible to a weak eye nerve or possibly viruses affecting the nerves in these events. I know it sounds far-fetched, but I'm trying track any triggers.

    Hi Dr. Guymon, thanks for your great videos…. Love how you show what a symptom might look like for that person……I’m 52 (woman) and suffer from Fibromyalgia, my vision is very strange, it varies, from eye to eye, 1 day the left can be so blurred I can’t even read, then the right can be the same, the blurryness can vary in severity, rarely both are really bad at the same moment thankfully, they vary so much I don’t know when is the best time to get an eye exam….. after watching your video I’m wondering if it’s down to the Fibromyalgia now….. I use glasses from the store +3.00 and going by your chart that’s way stronger than I should need for my age, but if I don’t use them I can’t read, not sure what to do….. thanks for your time x

    • @DrEyeGuy

    How do I get rid of the double vision if it started to occur last 2 years maybe it started when I got my glasses but I noticed it right when I had Covid and happens every day now constantly unless I look out a certain part of my right eye. Is it able to go away?
    I want to be able to wear contacts and I don’t think they make those with prisms. My eye doctor just rx prisms but I haven’t gotten them yet. Also what are your thoughts on neurolens ? I’m just trying to figure out the best option without having to increase the thickness of my lense bc I’m already a -6.75 and -6 at the age of 27. I just don’t want to have to keep increasing my rx.
    Also if I wore my current rx for 2 years and maybe it caused my double vision how would I know?
    Sorry for all the questions, thanks in advance for the help!!

      Visual crowding is an interesting topic to study, and I would need to continue to learn more about it in order to answer it in a small comment like this. It occurs in the visual processing pathway in the brain...and can get pretty complex.

  • @littleninja71
    @littleninja71 2 месяца назад

    I had this from my last pair of prescription/transition eye glasses. Really frustrating when the optometrist told me to give it at least 90 days for my eyes to adjust to the new prescription. Wearing these glasses for more than 4 hours resulted in temporary double vision when I'd take the glasses off. They did another eye exam and concluded there must be a defect in the lense they couldn't see - so they put new lenses in the frames but I still experienced it. I wore those glasses for a full year, ugh. Right now I'm dealing with another pair of glasses with 'issues' and will go back this week for a 4th visit to fit just 1 pair of glasses. This sort of thing has happened almost every year for the last 4 - maybe I need to find a new practice - getting frustrating to have to visit the eye doc 5-6x a year just to get a pair of glasses I can see out of.

    • @DrEyeGuy
      @DrEyeGuy  2 месяца назад +1

      Thanks for commenting. This occurrence can be annoying.... when you need glasses to see, but the glasses are messing with the eyes. But it can be common for the glasses to be inducing prism and double vision if they aren't made right.

    Hi. I had a squint which was corrected when I was 2 yrs old, have also worn glasses since then. One optician got my prescription wrong 5 times which started off my double vision/vertigo/nausea/headaches. I sometimes lose my balance. Had glasses corrected by a different optician. Still have double vision intermittently. Optician said they are reluctant to test my eyes again because of the amount of times they've been tested already. Been to the eye hospital, they tell me my squint hasn't changed that much but can't see any other problems. They are referring me to the squint clinic who may recommend a further operation. I've had the double vision intermittently since August '23. Can you maybe suggest what tests I should ask my GP to do moving forward? Thank you.

    • @DrEyeGuy
      @DrEyeGuy  2 месяца назад +1

      Thank you for sharing, and sorry to hear all of this. Hopefully they can get to the bottom of it, and it least be able to help you with either the surgery or glasses. I wouldn't be able to suggest or recommend anything online like that. I have had patients who have had a strabismus surgery (eye turn, eye squint) as a child, and then had it again when they were older, and they did very well with the surgery.

    • @DrEyeGuy
      @DrEyeGuy  2 месяца назад

      Diplopia can come from Vertigo, as balance is linked with the inner ear and eyes. Diplopia can also trigger vertigo. So it's important to make sure to get the eyes checked out along with everything else.

    Question, I’ve been experiencing ghosting or shadowing since August I see it with both eyes open but even if I cover one eye it persists. Is that considered monocular diplopia or bilateral diplopia or a mixture of both? I’ve tried the pinhole method and the ghosting goes away…I just feel like it’s getting worse so now it’s worrying me 😢 hope you see this!!!

    • @DrEyeGuy
      @DrEyeGuy  2 месяца назад

      If you see it with just one eye, it would be monocular. If you see it with both eyes, it can be binocular, or you are noticing your monocular diplopia that is happing in both eyes. Have you been to your eye doctor? Maybe checked for astigmatism?

    • @doctorsmith
      @doctorsmith Месяц назад +1

      I would also have your optometrist check for cataracts. If it’s fast onset ghosting you might have a combination of Nuclear Sclerotic cataracts and Posterior Subcapsilar Cataracts. Hopefully this is all that it is. Sounds scary but in the end it’s a five minute fix.
