Double Vision that comes and goes?!
Question: Double Vision that comes and goes!?
My husband has started having episodes of double vision!. It started about a week ago and happens about once a day usually lasting 15 to 30 minutes!. He has no other symptoms!. He feels fine!. He takes Dilantan for epilepsy, but he has been on it for years!. When he covers one eye, he sees fine, and when he look down, up, and both sides he sees fine!. However, if he looks straight ahead he has double vision!. I also noticed that one of his pupils is dilated more than the other during the episode!. When he blinks, he sees fine for a few seconds and everything goes double again!. I have thought about diabetes, but I know for a fact he doesn't have high blood sugar, but there is a family history of diabetes 1, but if he eats something with sugar, the symptoms do not go away!. I know he needs to go to the doctor but that is easier said than done considering he does not have health insurance!. Has anyone experienced this before!? Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Sometimes it can be fatigue!. You might see if there is a free clinic around!. Even if there is no insurance, you can't wait on something like that because so many major things could be the cause, especially if he has epilepsy!. It could be a new form of seizure!. If he has to go to the hospital, ask about Hill-Burton funds!. Most hospitals are built with those funds and they have to agree to treat some patients free for it, but they never tell anyone!. It could be diabetic!. The link below has some info on how to tell if it's an emergency!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Myself is having the same trouble and got it checked up at famous eye clinics and also with the ENT specialist and finally also got the Sinus treatment undergoing endoscopy removal of polyps etc from nose!. The double vision still persists and eye specialist is of the opinion that high blood sugar has caused this!.
I would suggest to get the scan done immediatly with analysis of orbital muscels that control eye movement at a straight go to pin point the exact problem and also to take life saving steps at very early time of probable tumours!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
