Double Vision since one year!!
Respected Doctor's
My Dad Age:57 Had Sixth nerve palsy last August it's been a year but still double vision/Diplopia is still there in his infected eye in the right peripheral end
Actually he started seeing improvement from 3rd month and 90 to 95 percent recovered in 6th month and started driving two Wheeler's but still now slight diplopia is there in far peripheral of Right eye, so is this normal and shall we wait,whats the next treatment for this remaining 5 percent double vision ??He's wearing power glass prescribed by opthalmologist and his Sugar/BP levels are normal,Also no diplopia in all other gazes except right far peripheral intact his eyes are aligned normally.
Please reply 🙏🙏

Hi..
I think it is a good recovery ..if no diplopia in primary position ..then we should just wait n watch , the body gets adjusted to this . You dont need any active treatment .it is normal
Control BO , sugar, take supplements, avoid very demanding driving n all..he shouls be fine .
Next Steps
Show to doc ,if worsening or any new development

Hello sir his lateral rectus muscle has been paralysed and now there is mild paresis in it which is residual.. I will prescribe vitamins as his sugar levels are also normal and mild diplopia might persist till it recovers on its own... if the diplopia is too disabling he should avoid driving thank you.

If it is recovered 95% in 6 months that is very good outcome post treatment, if the systemic diseases like, diabetes and hypertention kept under control, and having good sleep pattern then keep on going on medication whatever suggested by your neurologist and May the diplopia in peripheral remain as is or May vanish over the next 3 to 6 month.or it May become habitual neglect in his memory.
