If a health care provider identifies a cause, the symptoms may be treated and relieved with corticosteroids to reduce swelling and relieve pressure on the nerve. Sometimes, the condition may disappear without treatment. People with diabetes may benefit from close control of blood sugar levels .
Until the nerve heals, wearing an eye patch may alleviate double vision.
Treatment of the underlying cause may improve the condition. Improvement may occur even if the cause is never determined.
Complications may include permanent vision changes.
Call your health care provider if double vision occurs.
