    Thank you for getting back to me. I have had nystagmus, amblyopia, strabismus and visual crowding for 73 years. Visual crowding is the worst for trying to read. The only to deal with this problem is to a telescope to see the chalk board in school. I was a math guy and got a PhD in mechanical engineering but let me tell you it wasn't easy. All the little symbols all mushed together and drove me crazy. Thanks again for your U tube videos.

    I'm 16 years old and i am noticing double vision in my right eye only... When i see screens it increases and whenever I'm outdoors in nights i am also noticing glares and flashes of lights and whenever i come home after school i can see things clearly double from my right eye .... But the worst thing is when I visited eye doctor he said that everything is okay no need to worry and i thinkhe did not checked my eye in detail because i could read that 6/6 letter chart ..... I m stressed about my eye and doing my own research about the problem and trying to solve it in the most possible way i can.... 🙂❤(Thanks for reading) ... :)

    I had double vision. It went away when I began making my own cream soda so it would be sugar free. I think the magic ingredient is the real vanilla. I didn't do this for the double vision... It was a pleasant side effect. So I now drink vanilla water or homemade cream soda every day.

    Thank you for your video, full of good information. I've have had Eye nerve palsy 3 times (2018, 2021, 2023) and although after much test and MRI's doctors are not sure why (I do have hyper tension but controlled) However, although it may sound outrageous I can relate all three occurrences to getting cold mist/splash water from 1)lake, 2)ocean and last one 3)cold water ride, into my eye. In each case I remember feeling pain during the water event. In each occurrence after the event, about two weeks later I would get the eye nerve palsy. Which normally resolves itself 6-8 weeks. To the point where I no longer bathe in lakes/ocean when there is a chill/wind in the air, and I stopped doing cold water amusement rides. So I'm wondering if I susceptible to a weak eye nerve or possibly viruses affecting the nerves in these events. I know it sounds far-fetched, but I'm trying track any triggers.

    Hi Dr. Guymon, thanks for your great videos…. Love how you show what a symptom might look like for that person……I’m 52 (woman) and suffer from Fibromyalgia, my vision is very strange, it varies, from eye to eye, 1 day the left can be so blurred I can’t even read, then the right can be the same, the blurryness can vary in severity, rarely both are really bad at the same moment thankfully, they vary so much I don’t know when is the best time to get an eye exam….. after watching your video I’m wondering if it’s down to the Fibromyalgia now….. I use glasses from the store +3.00 and going by your chart that’s way stronger than I should need for my age, but if I don’t use them I can’t read, not sure what to do….. thanks for your time x

    I had this from my last pair of prescription/transition eye glasses. Really frustrating when the optometrist told me to give it at least 90 days for my eyes to adjust to the new prescription. Wearing these glasses for more than 4 hours resulted in temporary double vision when I'd take the glasses off. They did another eye exam and concluded there must be a defect in the lense they couldn't see - so they put new lenses in the frames but I still experienced it. I wore those glasses for a full year, ugh. Right now I'm dealing with another pair of glasses with 'issues' and will go back this week for a 4th visit to fit just 1 pair of glasses. This sort of thing has happened almost every year for the last 4 - maybe I need to find a new practice - getting frustrating to have to visit the eye doc 5-6x a year just to get a pair of glasses I can see out of.

    • @DrEyeGuy
      @DrEyeGuy  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Thanks for commenting. This occurrence can be annoying.... when you need glasses to see, but the glasses are messing with the eyes. But it can be common for the glasses to be inducing prism and double vision if they aren't made right.

    How do I get rid of the double vision if it started to occur last 2 years maybe it started when I got my glasses but I noticed it right when I had Covid and happens every day now constantly unless I look out a certain part of my right eye. Is it able to go away?
    I want to be able to wear contacts and I don’t think they make those with prisms. My eye doctor just rx prisms but I haven’t gotten them yet. Also what are your thoughts on neurolens ? I’m just trying to figure out the best option without having to increase the thickness of my lense bc I’m already a -6.75 and -6 at the age of 27. I just don’t want to have to keep increasing my rx.
    Also if I wore my current rx for 2 years and maybe it caused my double vision how would I know?

    Hi. I had a squint which was corrected when I was 2 yrs old, have also worn glasses since then. One optician got my prescription wrong 5 times which started off my double vision/vertigo/nausea/headaches. I sometimes lose my balance. Had glasses corrected by a different optician. Still have double vision intermittently. Optician said they are reluctant to test my eyes again because of the amount of times they've been tested already. Been to the eye hospital, they tell me my squint hasn't changed that much but can't see any other problems. They are referring me to the squint clinic who may recommend a further operation. I've had the double vision intermittently since August '23. Can you maybe suggest what tests I should ask my GP to do moving forward? Thank you.

    Question, I’ve been experiencing ghosting or shadowing since August I see it with both eyes open but even if I cover one eye it persists. Is that considered monocular diplopia or bilateral diplopia or a mixture of both? I’ve tried the pinhole method and the ghosting goes away…I just feel like it’s getting worse so now it’s worrying me 😢 hope you see this!!!

    • @DrEyeGuy
      @DrEyeGuy  Před 3 měsíci

      If you see it with just one eye, it would be monocular. If you see it with both eyes, it can be binocular, or you are noticing your monocular diplopia that is happing in both eyes. Have you been to your eye doctor? Maybe checked for astigmatism?

    • @doctorsmith
      @doctorsmith Před 2 měsíci +1

      I would also have your optometrist check for cataracts. If it’s fast onset ghosting you might have a combination of Nuclear Sclerotic cataracts and Posterior Subcapsilar Cataracts. Hopefully this is all that it is. Sounds scary but in the end it’s a five minute fix.
