In other words, I see it with both eyes, when I cover just my right eye, and when I cover just my left eye.

I see double/ghosting both monocular and binocular, with glasses and without. I cannot find much of anything on my issue. I did go through atleast 4yrs of school (11yo to 15yo) needing glasses after they tested me wrongly.

Which you can’t see (only specialist ophthalmologists have the equipment for full mapping of surface & optics, and I’m in Australia not USA). I don’t have Keratoconus, no major damage to surface of eyes so it must be more to do with the crystalline lense inside each eye. It always takes a lot longer than scheduled but I think results are still not ideal. They get frustrated when trying to work out the astigmatism corrections but I keep saying the difs are equally blurry & can’t find the right one per eye. Most Optometrists don’t seem to understand the extent for me or other rarer cases. If I deliberately defocus my eyes I can see circles blur into 3 rings. So I read with a window of 3 or 4 characters scanning across the whole line. My visual span for detail like reading is 1char in focus, then the 2 on either side are half clear. I pass the snellen chart in the room but clarity breaks up past about 8m. So glasses correct the myopia but the astigmatism corrections are a compromise that never quite work. My accommodation range (lens in each eye) is reduced. It’s like having astigmatism but in 3 axises. When my eyes don’t focus, the image separates into 3 copies slightly offset, 2 slightly distorted. If you are being plagued by ghost images or other double vision symptoms, give the Neuro Visual Center of New York a call today at (516) 224-4888 to schedule your evaluation.

This condition can be caused by a variety of serious factors, so it’s very important to contact a neurovisual professional as soon as possible to determine the type and cause of your double vision, and to get treatment started right away. Like VH, binocular double vision is caused by eyes that are misaligned. The first step of treatment for dry eye syndrome is typically the use of artificial tears. These symptoms can get markedly worse if the patient does a lot of reading or computer work, as we unconsciously blink less while focusing on reading. People with dry eye syndrome often suffer from itching, scratching, and burning sensations in their eyes, or they may feel like something has become lodged in their eye. When your eyes dry out, the surface of your eye becomes rough and irregular as the tear film along the surface of your eyes dries out. Monocular double vision can be caused by dry eye syndrome. It can affect the left eye, the right eye or both eyes at once. Monocular double vision in one eye often presents as a “ghost” image, a shadow that overlaps with the primary image. How Monocular Double Vision Causes Ghost Images If you have binocular double vision, the double vision will go away when you close either eye. If you see images as double out of one eye with the other eye closed, you have monocular double vision. If you’re experiencing double vision, try closing one eye. If you’ve recently started experiencing symptoms of double vision, there’s a quick way to determine which type you have. While monocular double vision can be caused by corneal disease or cataracts, binocular double vision can be caused by serious neurologic conditions. There are two different types of double vision (diplopia): monocular and binocular. Ghost images are a type of double vision that is a sign of a binocular vision dysfunction. Sometimes a little prism is all you need. Now, anytime a patient uses the word “smeary” or just isn’t seeing sharp enough, I immediately pull out my instruments and screen for VH. Aligning her eyes gave her the binocular vision and depth perception that she was missing! With the prism glasses, her world is so much easier. Interestingly, she did not complain of headache or dizziness at all, but she did have vertical heterophoria (VH), a type of binocular vision disorder caused by a misalignment of the eyes. She described it as things always appearing “smeary” when trying to focus. Of course, she didn’t: she had a ghost image. This optician had always complained to me of not seeing clear enough. She put it on and said, “Wow! This is great! I see so clear!” One time, I gave a clip to my optician with prism on it for her to look out of.

Putting prism in front of a person whose eyes are not misaligned gives them the same symptoms of the patient. When I see a patient who needs a lot of prismatic correct to align the eyes, I like to demonstrate to my staff how the patient sees without it.
