Double Vision

My mother who is 85 years old suffers from double vision. When she was taken to the eye specialist, he checked her eyes. He says it is due to her age. What could be the reason, he does not know. She had vertigo a few months back. Medicine was prescribed. Is it side effect of medicine for vertigo?

Hello, Geeta! How is your mom doing?

If the specialist felt that it was due to her age, then there's a very good chance that it is. As reported by the NIH, aging can cause many eye issues, including failing vision and blurred vision.

As to the side effects of the medication, many of them can also cause vision problems, as side effects, according to the FDA, but I can't tell you anything specific, since you didn't mention which medication she was taking.

Can you please post back and clarify? Thank you!

Thank you so much. The doctor says that my mom has high blood pressure. ,180/80. Could this be the reason for double vision? She has been prescribed medicine for blood pressure since 12 days. So far double vision still persists. How can she control her blood pressure other than medication? Thank you so much.

MRI of my mother shows small Infarcts. What is it? How can this be stopped? Is it the cause for double vision? Are their eye glasses to correct double vision. After medication for high BP, now her blood pressure is 150/80.
