Other than a night on the town that is. For some of us, it feels like we’ve been out on the town way too long. The fact is that, double vision causes can be treated. This article will clear things up for you, literally.

Double vision is medically called Diplopia. A single clear image is something most of us take for granted. Multiple areas of the vision system are responsible for this seemingly automatic process. All of these areas need to work together harmoniously to create clear single vision.

Clear vision is created by the five systems of vision working together in harmony. They are, the cornea (clear outermost disc covering the eye that lets in focused light. The lens (located behind the pupil focuses light onto the retina). The extra ocular eye muscles (perform the eye’s movements.) And last but certainly not least, the brain (processes visual information received from the eyes.)

The visual system has five areas. If any of them aren’t working properly, it causes double vision. So we need to think of the part that is not functioning to find the cause of the problem.

If the problem occurs in the cornea, it often causes double vision in one eye only. The damaged surface distorts incoming light. This can happen because of infection of the cornea or more uncommonly, Lasik surgery can leave one cornea altered causing unequal visual images.

If the lens is responsible for double vision, it is usually caused by cataracts. Obviously, that can distort vision in both eyes.
