A: Any type of vision loss in a diabetic or non-diabetic needs to be thoroughly checked out by a qualified eye doctor. Not only can diabetes cause vision loss but so can vascular problems in the eye, which are similar to a stroke in the brain. — Dr. Slonim.

Other possible causes of sudden-onset transient double vision are an actual stroke, diabetes and trauma to the head. Dr. Geraci explains, “If the symptom is truly double vision and the other causes you list are ruled out, then in otherwise healthy people a consideration would be myasthenia gravis.

There are many causes of double vision (diplopia), but sudden-onset, transient double vision is a different animal and almost always points to an underlying, very serious problem. For example, this is a possible symptom of a mini stroke (TIA: transient ischemic attack).

This type of short-term double vision is usually not cause for worry. But if the diplopia is long-lasting or keeps coming back, reasons for it can include: Stroke, head injury, brain tumor, brain swelling or brain aneurysm. A head injury, tumor, stroke or related condition can cause double vision that comes on suddenly.

New blood vessel growth (neovascularization) occurs. Unfortunately, these blood vessels are weak and also leak. These leaks (hemorrhages) can cause irreversible damage to the retina and permanent vision loss. Patients with controlled diabetes do better than those with uncontrolled diabetes.

Double vision, also called diplopia, causes a person to see two images of a single object. There are two types of double vision: monocular and binocular. Monocular diplopia is double vision in only one eye. The double vision continues even when the other eye is covered. The doubling does not go away when you look in different directions.

Find local eye doctor to get an eye exam. 1  Cataracts. Cataracts may cause ghost images, usually in one eye only. 2  Cranial nerve palsies. Double vision also can be caused by paralysis or loss of coordination of one or more muscles that control the position and teaming of the eyes due to a cranial nerve palsy.

And though sudden-onset transient double vision may have a not-so-serious cause, such as something wrong with the eye rather than the brain, this doesn’t mean you should blow this off and pretend nothing happened just because everything returned to normal after a few minutes.
