Suggest Treatment For Binocular Diplopia
Hi! I have had a sudden development of binocular diplopia. I went to the optometrist today and she said my eye pressures were normal and my retinal scan was normal. I also had a scan to check my optic nerves and that was pretty normal and showed congestion in my left eye. I only see double vertical images when I look up to the left with both eyes. If I cover either eye, my vision is normal. I also have rheumatoid arthritis. What do you think?
