Sixth nerve palsy and New spectacle??
Respected doctor's
My dad had sixth nerve palsy before 4 months due to inflammation,right now his eye movements are normal but diplopia is still there while looking at some angles/Gaze.Yesterday we went to eye specialist/Neurologist and explained slight diplopia is still there,but after checking my dad's eyes doctor told the eye movements are completely normal and so diplopia not possible,then eye specialist checked the power of his eyes and prescribed a power glass/spectacle.I have attached the prescription below and i want to know is there any connection between power of the eye and Diplopia in certain eye angles,Also could you please explain the things doctor has written in the specs prescription..please reply 🙏 🙏

Until unless there is large difference in power there is no diplopia..as far as 6th nerve palsy concern there are variety of etiologies from inflammation to space occupying lesion so one has to identify what is actually the cause and as far as motility concerned if there is diplopia persist consult neuroophthalmologist or neurologist for muscle electrophysiology and nerve conduction studies
