Diplopia or double vision is seeing two images of a single object, either one on top of the other, side by side, or a mix of both.
Along with a lack of depth perception, a person with strabismus may also experience double vision. In the optical world, double vision is known as diplopia. If you have diplopia, you may see two images, or one blurry one. Fortunately, eyeglasses with a prism embedded in the lenses can correct this. However, diplopia can also be caused by having one blind eye or an eye with minimal vision. Unfortunately, this canât be corrected by a prism alone; eye surgery on the extra-ocular muscles may be necessary, too.
