  Diplopia may be a complication after refractive surgery. Ocular lesions, including diplopia, can be amongst the presenting features of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), especially new variant CJD [ 4 ]. [patient.info]

  Neuro-Ophthalmology Diplopia – Double Vision Diplopia, also known as double vision, occurs in one of two ways. The double vision is either present with one eye open (monocular diplopia) or only with both eyes open (binocular diplopia). [eye.uci.edu]

  Thus the diplopia is horizontal and worse in the distance. [en.wikipedia.org]

  In other studies with smaller cohorts, the prevalence of diplopia is highly variable, ranging from 0 to 43%, and the diplopia is often accompanied by other symptoms or signs ( 8 – 10 ). [frontiersin.org]

  Patients will have horizontal uncrossed diplopia which is greater at distance than at near. The diplopia is also worse in the direction of the palsied muscle and gets better in the contralateral gaze (incomitant). [eyewiki.aao.org]

  It has been hypothesized that vasospasm of the arterial supply to the sixth cranial nerve may cause ischemia followed by recovery of nerve function. 11 It has also been thought that cranial neuropathies could represent repeated episodes of demyelination [dovepress.com]

• Cranial Nerve Involvement

  Cranial nerve involvement depends on the anatomical course of the cranial nerve and the site of the tumor. Patients may present with single or multiple cranial nerve palsies. [karger.com]

Therefore, if close follow-up to resolution of the palsy or paresis is not possible, neuroimaging is recommended.24 Treatment Amblyopia prevention is always key in children younger than 7 to 9 years of age. [guwsmedical.info]

We suggested the patching for right eye to prevent a double vision, and followed the patient by one-week interval. At two weeks after the diagnosis, the double vision disappeared and lateral gaze palsy resolved partly. [medresearch.in]

Occlusion using Bangerter filter or pirate patch can eliminate diplopia and confusion, prevent amblyopia or suppression in younger patients, and decrease the possibility of ipsilateral medial rectus contracture. [eyewiki.aao.org]
