What would cause double vision when looking to the side both ways?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
6th nerve lesions: The lateral rectus muscle moves the eye to the side. When this is not working well, you will see double when trying to look to the side. Many neurological disorders can affect the 6th nerve. A thorough neurological evaluation would be appropriate.
