Patient's question:
Father slipped and fell before the New Year, resulting in cuts on his eyes and eyelids.Doctor's answer:
Hello, "binocular diplopia" is caused by lesions in the eye muscles or the brain nerves that control them. The causes include: myasthenia gravis, diabetes, thyroid eye disease, brain tumors, strokes, aneurysms, multiple sclerosis, pharyngeal cancer, trauma (e.g., orbital wall fracture, leading to entrapment of the extraocular muscles), etc. The main treatment methods are:(1) monocular occlusion or pinhole vision, where only one eye is used to see, which can reduce the discomfort caused by diplopia.
(2) for mild degrees of diplopia, prisms combined with glasses can be used.
