A member asked:

What is monocular diplopia/polyopia and how is it treated?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Extra images from ey: Most visual doubling is when the two eyes are out of alignment (strabismus). But some conditions cause extra images from one eye including uncorrected astigmatism, cataracts, macular distortions and corneal disturbances. Most of these can be treated successfully by your ophthalmologist.
