Monocular diplopia occurs when some failure unilateral eye, such as cataracts – looking affected eye can see “ghosts”. Binocular diplopia occurs when failure souhybu eyes. Each eye is controlled six extraocular muscles, which have to be perfectly matched with each other and with double-sided muscles to images from both eyes could brain spatially correctly evaluated. If there is a mismatch between extraocular muscles, images from each eye with each shift and as a result we see double.Double vision, however, may not show all the time but only in certain positions of the eyes, for example, while looking up, etc., Depending on which has a reduced muscle function.
What diseases can cause double vision?
