How Can Diplopia Be Treated?
What are possible causes of and treatment for diplopia (double vision) ? I am 75 yeas old this year (all year) and was diagnosed with Parkinson s Disease about February of 2013, and began taking Sinemet (generically Levodopa/Carbidopa, 100/25 mg tablets) at that time. I now take a tablet at four hour intervals throughout the day (24 hours). I immediately developed diplopia. I have worn glasses since the age of about 13, but have never had diplopia in 71 years!
