A member asked:

What is voluntary diplopia?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Crossing the eyes: Voluntary diplopia is caused by the individual forcing the eyes to not look at the same place at the same time. Crossing your eyes is the typical way one can create voluntary diplopia. It is harmless and under the individual's control.
