If you see two objects, what about ophthalmology? Neurology? Where should I go

Boxing refers to a phenomenon in which an object appears to be two or a shadow occurs and appears double. Since the cause of double vision depends on whether symptoms appear in only one eye or both eyes, you should close your eyes one by one to see which side the double vision occurs.
Boksi is divided into monocular Boksi and binocular Boksi. If you close your eyes one by one when you have symptoms of double vision, you can suspect single-eye double vision. The most common causes of monocular double vision are abnormalities in the refraction of the eyes and weakening of the muscles responsible for the motor function of the eyes. In many cases, cataracts are the cause of monocular double vision in the elderly. In addition, dry eyes, corneal wounds, and retinal diseases can be the cause, so it is recommended to visit an ophthalmologist.
Kim Ju-yeon, director of the Center for Ophthalmology at Seran Hospital, said "Monocular vision occurs when the transmission of light through the eye to the retina is distorted. Most commonly, there is turbidity and refractive abnormalities of the lens, and very rarely, a tumor behind the eye can be the cause"People with double vision in one eye usually visit ophthalmology, and check their vision, pupil response to light, and eye movement. "
Kim Joo-yeon, director of the center, said "Adults can easily diagnose double vision because they can describe what they see, but it is difficult to diagnose a child's double vision. If a child rubs his eyes a lot, looks sideways, or tilts his head to one side, he/she should suspect a double vision.
It only appears to be two when you have both eyes open, and if it is okay when you close one eye, you may suspect binocular double vision. In particular, it is necessary to carefully examine whether symptoms of binocular ventilation continue to appear and then disappear. Binocular double vision can be mainly caused by problems with the alignment of the two eyes or by neurological problems in the muscles that move the eyeball.
If binocular double vision persists, it may be an abnormality in the nervous system. Stroke can also be suspected, and double vision, which occurs due to nervous system abnormalities, is accompanied by strabismus, which limits eye movement. Depending on the nervous system abnormality, symptoms other than double vision such as speech or language problems and sensory loss may appear. In particular, diplopia in the elderly can also be suspected of being related to underlying diseases such as diabetes, arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure, and brain aneurysm.
Director Lee Eun-joo of the Department of Neurology at Ceran Hospital said, "Both-eye double vision may cause inflammation or damage of the external eye muscle or problems with the cranial nerve, so various medical treatments such as ophthalmology, neurology, and internal medicine may be required at the discretion of the doctor."In particular, double vision, which occurs due to nervous system abnormalities, is accompanied by strabismus and is limited in eye movement. In this case, you should go to the hospital immediately and undergo a detailed examination such as MRI."
Manager Lee Eun-joo of the Department of Neurology said, `Although the micro-damage of the peripheral nerve can cause double vision, it can also be a symptom of brain diseases such as cerebral infarction or brain tumor"Since abdominal pain is a symptom that requires an accurate diagnosis, visit the hospital quickly when you feel eye pain, head pain, or paralysis on your face, or when it is difficult to balance your body.", he explained.
