What do you know, if anything, about binocular double vision?

@Aster If it is effecting your eyesight you should go to a Dr. and get an appointment soon. It could be a issue with the cornea or optic nerve, but needs a doctor to treat it.

How would you treat an optic nerve? Operate on it ? I’m not into knives near my eyes.

There are many possible causes for a symptom like that. The only way to know for sure is to be examined by an ophthalmologist and/or a neuro-optometrist. I’m pretty sure that no one is “into” knives near their eyes, but most eye surgery is done with lasers these days.. Besides, we’re not talking about a cosmetic treatment like LASIK, we’re talking about treating what could be a serious condition before it worsens.

Double vision is usually caused by abnormalities of the eye muscles that move the eyeballs, or the cranial nerves coming from the brain that control them. Not cornea, not optic nerve. If it’s only with extreme lateral gaze (looking way to the side) it might not be abnormal, but I’d get it checked out anyway. See your doctor, who might refer you to a neurologist or ophthalmologist.

@gasman thank you. I can’t figure out why I developed double vision to the far left ten years ago but , in all those years, never had one eye doctor mention it.

Have you mentioned it to them?

Yes; two years ago I went to a young female optometrist and, when I told her about the double vision, she got up and continued with more examinations then said she couldn’t figure it out.

I know that double vision is, cases where double vision occurs in both eyes, especially if you’ve had no history of it in the past. Even if it’s a temporary thing, it’s still something you should talk to your eye doctor about, just in case.
