Diplopia or double vision refers to the complaint of seeing two images of an object instead of one. The two images can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal. It can occur in one eye (monocular diplopia) or both the eyes (binocular diplopia). Homeopathic medicines for diplopia are selected individually for every case taking into consideration the reasons and the attending features. 
Diplopia can develop due to a number of reasons like keratoconus (cone-shaped cornea), corneal damage from infection/dryness), cataract, strokes, head injury, brain tumors, aneurysms, black eye (a bruise around eyes that results from a blunt blow to the area of the face around the eye or eyes), severe dryness of eyes as in Sjogren’s syndrome, squint, myasthenia gravis, Grave’s disease, (multiple sclerosis, Guillain-barre syndrome, diabetes), migraine headaches, astigmatism and pterygium. Alcohol or other recreational drugs can lead to temporary diplopia.
Homeopathic Medicines for Diplopia
Diplopia can be managed effectively with natural medicines. Before beginning homeopathy treatment for diplopia, an examination and evaluation by ophthalmologist and neurologist are essential. One must take the medicine from a homeopath after a complete case analysis and avoid self-prescription. The top remedies for diplopia are Gelsemium, Arnica, Zincum Met, Causticum, Natrum Mur, Phytolacca, Belladonna, Syphilinum, and Pulsatilla.

In cases needing Gelsemium, there is a double vision mostly when looking sideways. The eyeballs feel sore when moved and there maybe vertigo present.

At age of 29, during my pregnancy days my gynae starts medication for thyroid levothyroxine 25mg after this medication I experienced it first time i.e. issues with my right eye only, if i close my left eye and watching with my right eye only I get horizontal ghost imaging, but my Dr. says its temporary and goes by itself and they says its muscle weakness . as per your article I think its horizontal diplopia. But its with weak muscles. i never had headache and any other issue , there is no dryness , yes but my thyroid medicine is still in my routine but my thyroid level is normal in range. so at this case which medicine is best for me. please help me .. Thanking you in anticipation,

I have had horizontal diplopia for many years with no other symptoms except resulting loss of balance. Occasionally, it goes away completely for some unknown reason. I read Pulsatilla is used for this kind of double vision.
