Double vision is abnormal vision when you see two overlapping images. Problems with the eye, eye muscles, nerves, or brain can cause double vision.
Seek professional care if you experience any of the following symptoms
Double vision
Diabetic neuropathy is a kind of nerve damage that can happen in people with long-term diabetes. High blood sugar can harm nerves all over the body, mainly in the legs and feet.
The retina is a thin layer of tissue lining the back of the eyes, responsible for converting light signals into images in the brain. The retina has one main artery and vein. When branches of the retinal vein become blocked, it's called branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). The obstruction may cause blood and fluid leakage into the retina, resulting in blurry vision or vision loss.
A condition involving an overactive thyroid gland. It's a disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland.
Unruptured cerebral aneurysm
Cerebral infarction refers to damage to brain tissue resulting from a stroke. It occurs due to decreased blood supply and oxygen delivery to the brain, causing brain cell death and brain damage. It is typically caused by a blood clot or fatty/cholesterol plaques blocking a blood vessel to the brain, but can also occur if a blood vessel ruptures and bleeds into the brain.
