Question 1

tight muscles cause double vision from up close im 19 going on for 6months?

Accepted Answer

Convergence excess?: A rare disorder of the muscles of the eye will produce double vision when you try to look close.  The process of close vision is called convergence.  The eyes will normally move closer together to focus on an object up close.  In this condition the eyes move too close and the two images overlap instead of fusing.  Glasses often help and there are exercises to help control this effect.

Question 5

what causes double vision?

Accepted Answer

Muscle imbalance: The most common cause is muscle imbalance between the eyes. If this is the cause then covering each eye will eliminate the double vision. If you cover each eye and it is still blurry, you most likely need glasses. An eye care professional can correct these problems.

Question 6

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Needs evaluation: If you have the onset of doubling recently it can be a symptoms of tumor, aneurysm, trauma or a stroke.  Double vision is uncomfortable, usually intolerable as the images both are legitimate and your brain cannot choose between them.  You should be seen by a neuro-ophthalmologist who can diagnose the cause.
