Dr. Miki Zilnick, co-owner of Twin Forks Optometry and frequent lecturer on BV and VT, discusses handling complaints of double vision (diplopia).

Key steps include determining onset, frequency, and direction of double vision, which can indicate serious conditions like space-occupying lesions. Imaging is recommended for new onset cases. Visual acuity, extraocular muscle testing, and cover tests are essential examinations.

Prism and vision therapy are treatment options, with vision therapy being particularly effective for convergence insufficiency. Proper handling of double vision can enhance patient satisfaction and build practice reputation.
