Double Vision Treatment

Camen Eye Care, located in the heart of San Diego, specializes in the evaluation and treatment of double vision, also known as diplopia. This condition, which results in seeing two images of a single object, can significantly impact daily life and may indicate underlying health issues. Our expert team is committed to providing personalized and effective solutions to address and treat double vision, ensuring our patients can enjoy a life with clear, unified vision. This article will explore the causes of double vision, our diagnostic approach, and the treatment options available at Camen Eye Care.

Double vision can occur due to a variety of reasons, including but not limited to, misalignment of the eyes (strabismus), lens problems, cataract development, or more serious conditions such as nerve or muscle damage, brain injuries, and systemic diseases. It can affect one eye (monocular) or both eyes (binocular), and determining the type is crucial for effective treatment.

Comprehensive Eye Examination: Our first step is conducting a thorough eye exam to assess overall eye health and visual function. This includes tests to evaluate how each eye focuses and moves.

Detailed Patient History: Understanding the patient’s medical history, including any recent injuries, surgeries, or health conditions, is vital for diagnosing the cause of double vision.

Specialized Testing: Depending on the initial assessment, we may employ specialized tests, such as imaging studies or blood tests, to further investigate the root cause of the double vision.

Treatment for double vision is highly personalized and depends on the underlying cause. Our treatment strategies may include:

• Corrective Eyewear: Prescription glasses with prism lenses can be effective in compensating for the misalignment that causes double vision, helping to merge the two images into one.

• Prism Therapy: For some patients, temporary or permanent prism lenses, which bend light to align the images seen by each eye, offer a non-invasive solution to double vision.

• Vision Therapy: A series of visual exercises designed to improve coordination and alignment of the eyes can be beneficial, particularly for cases resulting from strabismus or nerve damage.

• Surgery: In cases where double vision is caused by physical issues with the eyes or their muscles, surgical intervention may be necessary to correct the problem and restore normal vision.

• Expert Care: Our team of optometrists brings a wealth of experience in diagnosing and treating a wide range of vision problems, including double vision, ensuring you receive the highest quality of care.
