 How Is Double Vision Treated?
Comment on this
With double vision, the most important step is to identify and treat the underlying cause. In some cases, double vision can be improved by managing or correcting its cause.
If double vision can't be reversed, treatments can help people live with double vision. Sometimes, this requires wearing an eye patch or special contact lens to minimize the effect of double vision.
