Can nearsidedness cause eyestrain and double vision?

Dr. Tim Conrad answered

Specializes in Ophthalmology

Yes: Myopia, or nearsightedness, can cause blurred vision and eyestrain. Some people interpret blurred vision as double vision. Real double vision means seeing two of everything and is not caused by myopia.
