Vertical diplopia help!
So 2 years ago (sept 2008 ) I noticed that I had vertical double vision, just before that I was given glasses to wear for TV/Reading. Now two years on I have to wear my glasses none stop for short sightedness.
I had a CAT-scan on head in 2007 ( normal )
Then an MRI on head in 2010 ( normal )
But the double vision has gotten worse, none stop now even with a fresnel prism on one of my lenses.
None of the opthamologists or doctors I have seen seem to know, I am currently waiting for another referral.
According to my opthamologist I see regularly, when I look up I have a slight weakness in my eyes.
Did the scans over look something? Am I going blind? Is it just a muscle problem? I am only 22-F
Is there anything I can do to help

A general ophthalmologist may not be sufficiently knowledgeable about an eye muscle imbalance. See an ophthalmologist who specializes in strabismus. You can find one using the doctor directory at www.aao.org.

Dear Mizzum,
I would recommend that you speak with your eyeMD and have your questions answered. It sounds as if you have two issues, one a muscle imbalance responsible for the double vision and the second, nearsightedness.
