Respected doctor's
My dad is having double vision from last 5 days.Intially we thought he's having Binocular diplopia because the double vision goes away once he closes either eyes but after opthalmologist and neuro doctor's checked him they found his right eye is causing this double vision problem and the left eye is completely normal
Actually his right eye looks little bigger than normal and doctor told one nerve is stopping his movement towards the right side of the right eye.
So whether this is monocular or Binocular diplopia??
Double vision is there while both eyes are open but opthalmologist telling that only right eye is affected.Is it possible??

First things first, diplopia usually is seen when both eyes are open, and as a rule on closing one eye the diplopia disappears.
Does your father have any systemic condition like diabetes, hypertension (BP)or thyroid disease... These may sometimes be associated with transient double vision.
You should reach out to your local doctor and do as he/she advises..
Without reports and without examination it is not possible to come to a diagnosis and advise treatment.
Next Steps
The set of investigations needed may depend on the cause, so in general I would suggest you to go to your doctor and discuss
Health Tips
To avoid double vision in your day to day routine you can close one eye (the one which has poor vision or poor range of movement). closure can be done with an eyepad.
