A member asked:

Had double vision for approximately 10 minutes. my wife said my eyes were dancing back and forth. what are possible causes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Double vision: It is difficult to answer this question directly without knowing your age and general health issues. This could represent a tia, a transient ischemic episode. I would suggest that you have this evaluated by an ophthalmologist.
