Betcha divergence insufficiency is on the rise as we spend more and more time on our phones with eyes converged up close, and lose some ability to diverge and point to farther out objects.

I had practice this for the first time. So I was practice during during day. At first I was getting a slight headache just trying to focus on the back finger but I eventually got it. Two weeks After my thyroidectomy surgery I started seeing double. I did a mri and It came out normal

[@Amirah1212]

I recently went to my eye care provider for a new prescription and decided to tell them about the double vision (at a distance) I’ve commonly had to deal with for the last four years. It was scary to learn they wanted to put me on prisms, going from not having them to six’s on both sides. It’s been four days now and they’re working but it really hurts (specially right after waking up) and words are still blurry at a distance. Specially my right eye. I don’t know if this will help me in any way but I want to try. Googling just spooked me about developing a “wandering” eye after using prism glasses for a long period of time and the other pain related side affects. Thank you for this thorough video.

would this help with double vision after undergoing surgical monovision? if not, what exercises would you recommend?

Thank you for this, I wanted to see if there were any exercises you recommend for double vision when looking up. I recently had a orbital floor fracture repair surgery and am dealing with diplopia when looking up. Thank you!

[@danamumphrey2186]

I’m dealing with the same , no surgery repair so I hope they were right about that. Double vision came a month after assault . Hoping it will recover on its on , has yours?

[@HiJasPark]

@@danamumphrey2186 It’s been 3weeks since the surgery and 1mo since the accident. Unfortunately double vision remains the same when looking up, I had double vision prior to the surgery as well. Hope it will all be recovered soon 🙏🏻

[@danamumphrey2186]

I pray we both recover , I was fine then it popped up. Maybe muscle and nerve damage?

[@HiJasPark]

Yes, hope you recover soon too. There was muscle entrapment in the injury, which was released during the surgery. Hope it heals soon

[@harishnagar7035]

Thanks for info. Loved your videos.. i see doble vision or pseudodiplopia when white words in black background like shadow ...eyecheckup normal..my ophthalmologist prescribed these exercises also...is this condition is physiological ? Im a doctor and preparing for superspeciality lots of read and online studies..

[@quanzaaustin1915]

The first and 3rd I have tried and I am seeing Improvements. However, when doing the 3rd one, I get a slight headache for the 5 seconds. Could you say why Dr?

[@jamesburr8399]

I’m having double vision now for the first time and it started 3 days ago. I have diabetes 2 and the eye doctor told me to wear a patch on my left eye for one month then go back and see him. I need a 2nd opinion I believe.

[@silaslongshot941]

How about vertical monocular diplopia, probably caused by long term ptosis warping the cornea?

[@cindybasile]

I had binocular diplopia in the distance, had every test all my specialists could think of to give me and not one dr could prescribe prisms that took away the dv. Consequently, I’ve been doing things too my brain because of this. It’s all connected. Also , have neck strain, shoulder pain and head pain almost everyday. Beware of many neuro ophthalmologists, strabismus drs. I had many and they were the ones that couldn’t get my prism correction right.

[@harshbansal8181]

How is prism correction done bro ?

[@Niecy-jl8vj]

Hi, I just watched the video and read your post about your symptoms 10mos ago. I have the same issues, including neck, left shoulder pain and headaches. Total of 3 days in, I haven't gone to a doctor yet. Please share if you've had any improvement? Thank you😊

Should you do any of these exercises wearing or not wearing corrective prism lenses? I have a pair of glasses that really does a nice job and corrected my double vision but I’d like to just get rid of the prism had a stroke about 40 days ago this is helping those instances and should I do his exercises with or without the glasses

[@winesoup6907]

I've been experiencing this for a while and it was frustrating to go to different doctors/optometrists and they all said 'you only have .25 cylindrical and it's 'negligible' Ugh...it's not too bad when it's arm length for me but at about above 10 feet like watching TV my double vision is bad. Going to the movies is crazy cause with the screen that big the double vision is magnified for me! I'm trying to do these exercises though but how do I make the object look like single object? Seems like the only way for me to focus is to squint a bit i can't just look normally and make it look like a single focus. If it's the TV it's even harder i don't know how to do it. Would love to have a bit more clarification...thanks doc!

[@TimePass-rj3pe]

Hi Doctor, I had a question regarding the exercises. Do you do them with spectacles on or without them?

[@johndoell5359]

Would this help with ghosting “double vision” caused by PRK?

[@amipitamgeegmailcom]

Can we do this while wearing prism glass or just galss with no prism?

[@TInyK12]

I was doing your "count the lines" exercise. Why is it so difficult for me to count the horizontal lines? My eyes can't maintain a fixed gaze on each horizontal line to count. But vertical and diagonal lines aren't a problem.

[@Kat-we2oe]

What about double vision in both eyes ?

[@nehananda29]

Hi i have double vision since one year. Farther away and left side. I have high myopia too. Should i do these without or with glasses

[@Fox_McCloud]

what exercises do you engage in if you have suppression?

[@deluxivinsity]

Hello doctor, about the Physiological Diplopia. If I look at the back and if I saw only one finger at the front, is it normal?

[@viktorkateliev]

I am on my 4th month of vision therapy, and 9 months was recommended by my Doctor. My question is, is this a normal timeframe for Hypotropia AND Exotropia ? I am at a point where I am happy about my results thus far but it is obviously not perfect without the glasses. I want it to be better. I would like it to be comfortable without my glasses and not weird . My situation is complicated where I wasn't using my left eye for twelve years after it fell asleep after a retinal detachment surgery when I was 17. This year it randomly woke up and a lot of vision returned. I hope it gets easier generally. I am optimistic. Thank you

[@joeganmma7133]

how's it going now?

[@viktorkateliev]

@Joegan MMA I am a lot more comfortable. They removed the prism from my glasses a few months ago and I wear them for work computer and for gaming at home/watching TV. If I take them off, I see the same quality due to my dominant eye. The double vision is gone and the eyes are aligned to normal standards. The remaining thing is the weird feeling. Psychologically. This feeling is when I'm thinking about this. But my general functions tell me it is fine. There is definitely hope for Double Vision cases and mine was extreme. I started psychological counseling around the beginning of this year to help me get through this. The vision continues to improve like magic. The vision therapy was necessary and I am happy I did it. I've graduated vision therapy 1.5 months ago.

[@DualPerformance]

@@viktorkateliev good to see the improvement

[@ahsan5244]

Were you able to read from your non dominant eye By closing dominant eye?

[@ahsan5244]

At what age did you start your treatment?

[@StevenBrener]

Do you recommend doing these with glasses on or off?

[@birdkitty6817]

Are we suppose to do these exercises while wearing our glasses, or is it better to take them off first? Thank you!

[@trangnguyentrangnguyen7263]

Can you explain the difference between astigmatism and double vision pls?

[@tech-fun493]

What you are asking is like Can you please explain what's difference between potato and tomato as both are food stuff. There may be a case where double vision might be because of Astigmatism but not always.these two are totally different things.You will know it all just after you became strabismilogist.

[@prafulkochar5619]

Presently i am suffering from Binocular Diplopia since last two weeks...consulted with neurosurgeon and opthosurgeon to diagnose on Rt.Lat.Rectus Palsy...suggested steroids and prisms glasses... Mayvi know exact underlying cause and time to be taken to cure it in early stage itself ?

[@arielthanataweenont5119]

What about when you can see your fingers aligned, but then you switch to another eye and the finger has moved? No matter whether I look far or close the same thing happens. can see out of both eyes at the same time, but I can consciously change which one is dominant. I can’t seem to get them to work together for any type of exercise. I also had eye muscle surgery 4 years ago but my eyes still don’t work together.

[@randomperson5946]

My problem is i mainly see double when i focus and i cant stop it

[@balasooriyaarachchilagethi4313]

How many times per day we have to do it

[@aichujohnson8444]

There is yet another type of double-vision. This type happens in each eye individually and is not because of how the eyes converge. In such a case, the light focuses before the retina. Sometimes it is due to a ciliary muscle lockup, other times is because the eyes has grown too long.

[@himanshusaroj0]

I have this can recommend any solutions

[@nehamann92]

I have the same issue. Double vision in each eye individually. What's the solution??

It helped. Have slight strabismus..esotropia but far.

[@fairbornCCF]

These exercises are intended to help people with binocular double vision. That means if you cover either eye. your double vision goes away. Also, you need to talk to your doctor to determine the cause of your double vision. If you have a muscle or nerve that is being compressed by swelling of surrounding tissue that problem needs to be addressed first.

[@beauty_anakaren]

This is how I feel at the moment! It’s been 3 days now and I’m desperate seen Drs ER seen Eye Dr and no one has found anything wrong yet. 😥

[@beauty_anakaren]

I only see double with both eyes open farsighted up close I see okay, and if I close one eye or the other I see fine but both open like I said I see double from afar

[@roopaprasad3638]

That's true ! What are the symptoms of muscle or nerve compression ? Coz I have pain in the eyebrows 😟

[@fairbornCCF]

@@roopaprasad3638 Pressure in or around your eyes should be investigated further with an eye pressure test and possibly an MRI.

[@user-zk8ck3my3l]

How would you test if nerve or muscle?

[@judithgreene5235]

I'm struggling. I have cervical instability. When it started to get worse my long range vision started to become distorted. I guess its double vision of things like across a parking lot or at a longer range. It's so bad and confusing I have to quickly look down at the ground. I tried your exercises but don't seem to pertain. I've talked to my Eye Dr and she had no idea what was going on. The way I explain it is the vision out of my right eye is tilted to the left and doesn't line up with my left eye. Everything is a little blurry but not bad. The whole thing then creates a dizzy sensation because my brain can't understand what's happening. Do you have any ideas? Thank you.

This is for diplopia binocular or diplopia monocular?

When do you recommend to do these exercises? It's for my 15 year old daughter. Do you recommend to do them once a day? Several times a day? Several times a week? Only when she starts to see double? She doesn't see double often, but we werre thinking that doing these exercises can hel her make her muscles "stronger" and better controlled. It's very hard to get good advice and I found your video very well done, so I'll be glad if you can help me answer my questions.
