Hello -

Thanks for your question. Double vision has many causes. It can be monocular or binocular double vision. Occasionally double vision can go away on its own, especially if it is due to ocular surface issues. Sometimes it may be due to an imbalance in the muscles that coordinate eye movements for binocular vision. If this is the case, determining the specifics cause is important to determining if the double vision will go away.

Hope this helps. If there is a persistent concern generally it is best to be seen by an eye doctor to determine the cause.
