I had no knowledge of the subject, for what I have searched and this is what I have found:
diplopia
Diplopia or diplopia is the double vision, the perception of two images of a single object.The image can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal.1 It is not necessaryof greater seriousness.
Diplopia originates from multiple causes:
- Aneurysm
- Diabetes mellitus
- Wernicke's disease
- Multiple sclerosis
- Drugs
- Hypertension
- Miastenia Gravis
- Mitochondrial myopathy
- Keratocono
- Cranial trauma
- Tumor
- Virus
When you disappear when you close an eye, you usually have two causes:
- Paralysis of the oculomotor muscles, with the consequent misalignment of the eyes, forming the image in different places of the retina in each eye or strabismus.
- If, when closing an eye, the double image does not disappear, this is generally caused by correlation default between the eye lenses.
If, looking with a double vision, using a polarized filter, it is found when the filter that disappears the double image, this is formed by Birrefringnce in the lens.
In the case of the double image seeing with one eye, it is important to verify the introcular pressure, which is related to the eye glaucoma.
Diplopia can also be associated with cancer diseases, as in Cavum lymphepitelioma, in which the optical nerve can be affected.
Diagnosis
If a patient experiences diplopia you should consult an urgently doctor, who after physical examination can request:
- Lancaster test
- Background
- Blood analysis (to see blood glucose levels)
- Magnetic resonance
- Computed tomography
Likewise, the patient will be indicated to avoid sugar and salt until the laboratory exam results are.The patient is also asked for the occlusion of an eye, alternating one day each side.In this way the double vision is avoided, since it almost always brings as dizziness and headache symptoms.
Diplopia itself does not bring consequences for health, the vision is not compromised or life, but the causes of this disease are usually seriously seriously, so they must be detected in time.
