In most cases double vision is usually a temporary and uncommon issue

If you have blurry vision, you may need your eyes checked and your glasses corrected with a new prescription to correct the astigmatism.
However, if you are still experiencing double vision, a comprehensive eye assessment with our ophthalmologist is recommended to determine the health of your eyes.

Double vision symptoms
and vision testing

Our patients describe double vision astigmatism as seeing one image as two, blurring between one another.
If your double vision is persisting or you are experiencing double vision in frequent episodes, you may be:
  • Developing cataracts
  • Have a transient (or intermittent) diplopia condition
  • Have a cross-eye or lazy eye (misaligning eyes)
  • Have an underlying neurological condition
If you see two distinct images side-by-side or one above the other, and one of the images disappears when one eye is covered, then there may be a neurological problem that needs to be investigated.

Private consultation &
treatment for double vision

Our specialists understand that double vision can cause headaches, reading difficulty and general discomfort when performing daily, routine tasks.
If you are concerned about your double vision, we can provide you with an all-inclusive private consultation to investigate and diagnose the cause of your double vision symptoms.
Once we’ve identified the underlying cause of your double vision, our ophthalmologist will find you the best suitable treatment.
A better quality of life is just around the corner!

What is included in my private consultation?

This includes:
  • A comprehensive consultation with your dedicated ophthalmologist (inclusive of all eye assessment and eye scans)

  • A signed prescription (if required) and/or vision correction treatment planning
  • A dedicated eye care team to support you throughout your eye care journey

I had Cataract surgery, amazing, life changing. I have worn glasses for most of my life now glasses free. Friendly, professional and reassuring , can’t thank them enough.

I have attended the my-Iclinic for a number of years and always found them to be excellent. When I needed a cataract operation they were the obvious choice. The whole procedure went like clockwork and was completely painless. My eyesight is vastly improved. I would highly recommend the I clinic to anyone as the equipment they use is cutting edge and there is a continuity of care as you always see the same consultant. The staff are very friendly and approachable.

I saw Mr Bolger for cataract surgery with lens implants earlier this year. This is a word-of-mouth clinic, well worth the journey quite far into north London. The whole place feels 100% clinically led by its two consultants. Close attention to detail is in evidence everywhere, from reception right through to follow-up. No one relishes eye procedures, but this was a good experience, with clear and patient communication, plus excellent written information to take away. I was so glad to be there in purpose-built surroundings, under the care of an experienced surgeon and his own team, rather than in a rushed NHS setting, or in the typically more commercial atmosphere of Harley Street.

Look no further! I researched for over a year to find the best laser eye clinic for my complex astigmatic eyes to see if laser surgery would benefit me and this clinic is it! Great service from all the team, especially optician Bharvi and John himself. Lovely comfortable practice, super modern equipment with some incredible machines! The superb surgeon John Bolger has been practicing for decades, is top of his field and lectures all over the world. To top it all off there is tea and coffee on tap! There are chepaer surgeons out there but these are your eyes so you want the best! And its worth it!

I have had double cataract removal and my vision was adjusted. I cannot praise My-iclinic highly enough. It was a stress free experience from pre-op to surgery then post-op. I felt extremely reassured and was dealt with in a friendly and professional manner with much care and attention. I can see without glasses for the first time in 30 years, and everything is so clear and bright. Many thanks to Bola Odufuwa-Bolger who performed the surgery.

I had the SMILE procedure in July - it’s now September and my vision is perfect. The procedure was painless and I recovered quickly (I could see clearly after a few hours and completely the day following the procedure). John Bolger was thoughtful, honest and professional. Even though the clinic is quite out of the way for me, I’m glad I made the effort to travel for the level of care.

I had cataracts removed in both eyes and was very pleased with how the operation went and the results. I can see! The operation itself was painless and there was only a day or so of mild discomfort afterwards. The initial consultation, operation and follow-up appointment were all efficiently run and consultant Ms Bola Odufuwa-Bolger and team were friendly, helpful and informative, putting me at ease at all times. I would recommend My-iClinic to anyone considering cataract surgery.

Great surgery, excellent team, deep knowledge of eye business - no wonder Dr.Bolger was chosen by Her Majesty Queen Elisabeth. He literally gave me ability to read again glasses free, although other clinics couldn’t do it

Some years ago I chose My-iClinic to have a double Cataract operation which has changed my life considerably. I now have almost perfect vision without needing glasses or lenses. From the initial consultation right through to post-op, I couldn't have been cared for any better. Mr Bulger has created an excellent team. Recently, I revisited the clinic for my annual examination which revealed that one of my eyes had become a little lazy. I met with the very thorough Fatima, the resident Optometrist & Orthoptist who quite simply put my eyes in the gym with a series of exercises to be completed at home I am happy to report that after 3 weeks I am beginning to notice improvement. Without hesitation, I would unreservedly recommend My-iClinic.

It has been a few months since I had Presbyond eye surgery at My-iClinic, and it's been one of the best decisions I've ever made. I no longer need glasses and can see the world with my own eyes, which has given me an incredible sense of freedom—something I didn't fully appreciate until after the surgery. Mr. Bolger, the surgeon, clearly and calmly explained every aspect of the process, from the results of the various tests to what would happen on the day of the operation. This put my mind at ease and made me feel confident in my decision. The operation went very smoothly thanks to Mr. Bolger's expertise. I'm glad I was operated on by one of the top eye surgeons in the country. The staff were also professional and kind throughout my visits. This summer, I took my daughter to a planetarium, and it was just incredible to experience it without glasses. I highly recommend My-iClinic to anyone considering laser eye surgery.

Double vision Frequently asked questions

Have a question? We are here to help.

What is Double vision (diplopia)?

Double vision (also known as diplopia) is a condition which creates a duplication in your eyesight. For example, when you look at one object, you will see two objects. This causes distortion and blurriness as well as other discomforting side effects for everyday routine tasks. Double vision symptoms may be temporary or long-lasting which requires an accurate diagnosis to resolve the condition.

What causes Double vision (diplopia)?

Double vision can be caused by refractive errors, misaligning eyes, development of cataracts or an underlying neurological condition. When you visit My-iClinic for a private consultation, our ophthalmologists will carry out eye assessments and any further investigations needed to diagnose the cause of your double vision symptoms.

What are the common symptoms of Double vision?

Patients who have double vision express their symptoms as:

  • Seeing a duplicate of one image in your vision
  • Headaches, dizziness & nausea
  • Painful eye movements and/or weak sensation of the eyes
  • Difficulty reading, driving & performing daily routine tasks
If you are experiencing any of the symptoms above and you are seeking a diagnosis and treatment for your double vision symptoms, you can speak to our friendly specialists on 0208 445 8877 for more information about booking a consultation.

What happens if I don’t seek treatment for double vision?

Double vision may go away on its own. The condition can be easily corrected if the cause is a refractive error (corrected by glasses for double vision, contact lenses or vision correction treatment). If, however, your double vision is not caused by a typical refractive error, there may be a more serious cause and it is best to have an eye assessment to investigate the issue. If you are concerned with any double vision symptoms, please contact our specialist on 0208 445 8877 for more information about an assessment.

How can I treat my double vision (diplopia) if the cause is neurological?

If our ophthalmologist suspects the cause of your double vision is due to a neurological condition, our neurology specialist will examine you for further investigations. This will include MRI scans for a thorough assessment and understanding.

Is it normal to have double vision in one eye?

Monocular double vision (double vision in only one eye) is very uncommon and is usually caused by dry eye syndrome, astigmatism or cataracts. If you are experiencing double vision in one eye, we can carry out ophthalmic assessments to investigate the cause of your symptoms and find a suitable treatment.

How does patching eye treatment help with double vision (diplopia)?

Patching your eyes helps reduce double vision symptoms by blocking the double image being produced in your eyesight. Eye patching is a form of occlusion therapy, which takes time to train and stop symptoms from occurring again. Eye patching is an effective treatment and can be a suitable treatment for both children and adults.
