Diplopia: In diplopia (double vision)

In diplopia (double vision), you see more than one image at the same time. This may occur in just one or both eyes. It may come on suddenly and be temporary, or it can be something you've experienced for a while. It all depends on the underlying cause. Double vision can happen in one eye or both. Learn about the types, causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and prognosis for diplopia . Diplopia , or double vision, is the separation of images vertically, horizontally, or obliquely and can be described as monocular or binocular in origin.[1] This condition can be due to either ocular misalignment, which disappears when either eye is occluded, or to an optical problem termed monocular diplopia , which does not disappear with monocular viewing. Binocular diplopia is usually caused by ocular misalignment or strabismus that can be detected using simple clinical tests.[1] Diplopia is a visual disturbance characterized by the perception of double images. Diplopia arises from diverse origins, either due to ocular misalignment resulting in binocular vision disruption or from optical anomalies leading to monocular diplopia , which persists even with one eye closed.
