What's the reason for seeing double shadows

summary

Diplopia is a common symptom of Ophthalmology, which means that the patient sees things with double shadows, and one thing is regarded as two things. If one eye sees things with double shadow, it is called monocular diplopia; if one eye sees things without diplopia, and two eyes see things together, it is called binocular diplopia. What's the reason for looking at things.

What's the reason for seeing double shadows

Reason 1: it is caused by the imbalance of the eye muscle movement, which may be the problem of the eye muscle itself, or the nerve that dominates the eye muscle. 、

Reason 2: as long as the eye position or movement of both eyes is not coordinated or balanced, diplopia will occur. When you look at things, you get a double shadow.

Reason 3: the common causes of ocular muscle problems include trauma, surgical injury, thyroid related ophthalmopathy, inflammatory pseudotumor, strabismus after surgery, retrobulbar injection, parasites, metastatic cancer and so on

matters needing attention

If it is not clear that it is caused by ophthalmic problems, we should not give up or perfunctorily treat the patient. We must do further examination to find out the cause. At least we should follow up and tell the patient to review. Otherwise, we may miss diagnosis and delay treatment.
