    I have a client with cerebullar ataxia and she has double vision as a result. She began double vision after a bout of ecoli, then ataxia happened. She is on a med, but it only helps slightly with the mobility. She has had ataxia for 10 years and no doctors have helped except for the med mentioned above. I have helped with afternoon fog and more alertness, a bit better gait. She would love to have her eyes focus better and not have to be dependent on special glasses. She grew up in Scotland on homeopathic treatments!!
    I would appreciate any recommendations you have. Thanks so much !!

    After extensive hospital testing and eye doctor session my double vision seems to have no cause! Eye patches were given which when used the vision is corrected

  10. I have double vision for my left eye when I see with both eyes. But seeing with one and one eye is single vision.
