HOW DOES DOUBLE VISION BE A HARBINGER OF BRAIN TUMOR?
Double vision, that is, diplopia, which occurs as a result of disruption of the axis of vision, may be considered insignificant by patients. The problem of double vision, which can be a harbinger of diseases such as thyroid, goiter, can become dangerous in the advanced stages. Vascular blockages that can be seen due to masses that can form inside the head or around the eyes can also result in double vision. Eye Diseases and Health Specialist in Turkey Operator Doctor, and Turkey Medicals member, describes the treatment and prevention of double vision problems.
Double vision is developing due to the distortion of the axis of vision, which should normally be parallel. Double vision caused by a refractive error in the eye can occur after various symptoms. Symptoms of diplopia such as blurred vision, decreased night vision, and increased headaches can be seen. If the problem is due to a brain tumor, the person sees objects as if they are fluctuating, while this condition can also be accompanied by the inability to see clearly and tunnel vision syndrome. If double vision is not treated for a long time, symptoms such as headache, sensitivity to light, dry eye, and eye redness may also occur over time.

DIPLOPIA CAN BE A HARBINGER OF A BRAIN TUMOR
Diplopia, which can occur as a result of masses that can be seen muscle in the nerves and muscles of the eye or in the head, can also be a harbinger of other diseases. Double vision, which can occur due to brain and eye tumors, can occur as the first symptom of these diseases. If double vision is also accompanied by the inability to look up and down, it is necessary to suspect the possibility of a brain or eye tumor. This problem, which is among the symptoms advanced stages of thyroid (goiter) diseases, can also be seen in vascular blockages caused by hypertension and diabetes.
.
THE EYE WHERE YOU HAVE THE PROBLEM IS IMPORTANT
Which eye the patient experiences double vision with is the most important. If the problem is experienced in one eye, this may be due to the fact that the patient experiencing the problem sees it shaded or tilted. If the patient sees a double with both eyes open, the problem indicates a more serious condition. These two problems, which can often be confused with each other, are usually explained by patients as having blurred vision in the other eye when one eye is closed. In double vision that can be seen in one eye, the problem can usually be solved by using glasses or correcting the discomfort (cataracts, etc.).
.
VISION CAN IMPROVE AFTER TREATMENT OF DISEASES
First of all, it is necessary to identify the diseases that cause the problem in double vision. For each disease that can cause a problem, a separate treatment method is used. When diseases caused by double vision are treated, vision improvement can usually be achieved. If muscle problem has occurred due to a refractive defect in the eye, treatment methods such as the use of special glasses, surgical intervention that can be performed on the eye muscles, or botox injection in the eye muscles can be applied.
