What are the best treatments for diplopia (double vision)?

Hello Ji,

If you're suffering from diplopia (double vision), it’s important to identify the underlying cause, as treatment depends on what's triggering it.

Common Causes of Diplopia:

• Weakness or misalignment of eye muscles (strabismus)

• Nerve palsy affecting eye movement

• Brain conditions (like stroke, tumour, or aneurysm)

• Uncontrolled diabetes or thyroid eye disease

• Trauma or injury to the eye socket

What Can Be Done:

1. Consult an ophthalmologist or neuro-ophthalmologist. They will perform detailed eye movement tests and possibly recommend an MRI or CT scan.

2. Treatment options include:

   • Eye exercises or prism glasses to manage muscle imbalance

   • Control of underlying diseases like thyroid or diabetes

   • Botox injections or surgery in some cases

How HexaHealth Can Help:

• Help you connect with the right eye or neuro specialist

• Assist with appointments, second opinions, and financing options, if applicable

• Guide you if imaging or surgery is recommended

Please don’t delay—early diagnosis can often prevent long-term complications.

Wishing you clarity and a quick recovery!
