Cataract is the most common cause of double vision. Other causes being diabetes, myasthenia gravis, thyroid eye disease, multiple sclerosis, raised pressure in the brain, brain tumors, migraine, aneurysms and strokes. Causes of diplopia can also be divided into those causing uniocular diplopia and those causing binocular diplopia.
Nerve disease: Conditions like multiple sclerosis, uncontrolled diabetes and Guillian Barre syndrome can affect the nerves supplying the eye muscles and cause a muscle paralysis leading to squint and diplopia. Brain Diseases: Some causes for double vision originate in the brain. They include:
 Corneal disorders can also rarely cause uniocular diplopia.. The damaged surface of the eye distorts incoming light, causing double vision. Corneal disorders are due to infections or rare complication of LASIK surgery. |
