10 Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #1: Double Vision
Double vision, or medically known as diplopia refers to the perception of two identical images that may seem as if they are displaced horizontally, diagonally, or vertically. It usually occurs when there is an impairment of the extraocular muscles where both eyes are functional but are not directed at the same angle resulting in a disparity of the image shown.
Diplopia can be serious as it can lead to disruption of balance, movement, and other daily routine activities. It can cause accidents, falls, and injuries to the affected person.
