What is the prognosis of diplopia?

Diplopia is the medical term for double vision. The prognosis for diplopia depends on whether the problem is monocular or binocular diplopia, the underlying cause and whether or not it is treatable. Examples of effective remedies for monocular diplopia include, corrective lenses for astigmatism can be corrected, removal of a cataract, and dry eye treatment. Binocular diplopia from childhood strabismus is treatable. Damage to a nerve that controls one of the eye muscles may be temporary or permanent.
