Unfortunately steroids,caused me to develop cataracts,which developed very quickly and became quite bad so about 8 months ago I had both cataracts removed and had new lenses inserted which were designed for me ,for distance vision my distance vision was bad so I went with that instead of short distance,so I still need reading glassesand despite alk this I still have some double vision but it’s a lot better

Double vision (diplopia) occurs when eye muscles become weak or fatigued, causing misalignment. This means you'll see two images of the same object instead of one. Like other MG symptoms, double vision often improves with rest.

Common symptoms that can accompany double vision include
• Headache
• Nausea
• Dizziness Show Full Answer

Double vision (diplopia) occurs when eye muscles become weak or fatigued, causing misalignment. This means you'll see two images of the same object instead of one. Like other MG symptoms, double vision often improves with rest.

Common symptoms that can accompany double vision include:
• Headache
• Nausea
• Dizziness There are several ways to manage double vision:

• Prism lenses - These can be attached to eyeglasses to adjust how light enters the eyes
• Eye patches - Covering one eye can help reduce double vision
• Medications like Mestinon to improve nerve-muscle communication
• Rest periods for your eyes when they become fatigued

MGteam members report success with various approaches, particularly prism lenses and eye patches for watching TV or reading. Some have found relief through medications that help control MG symptoms.
