DoublevisionDoublevision

Has anyone out there experienced this and what diagnosis were you given?

I would suggest that you see a neurologist. He will determine if the problem is in eyes (optic), muscle of eye (Occular motor) or vestibular system (which controls balance). It could also be due to nerve involvement in brain (Cranial nerve III, IV).

Third eye nerve palsy.. causes vertical double vision but with pain.. one eye looks foward and the other eye droops down and inward or outward.. happens more often to diabetics
