What Causes Severe Headaches Along With Double Vision?

I ve been having some double vision episodes (i.e., not continual) after having a headache over my right eye for a couple of weeks. We thought it was a sinus infection, but Augmentin didn t get rid of the headache. As I say, the double vision didn t begin right away, but started after about two weeks of the headache. What might be causing the double vision?

Hi,

Double vision can be due to nerve or muscle weakness(diabetes,MS, MG), infections(Shingles, herpes), dryness or migraine headaches. Visit an ENT specialist & get MRI, CT, CBC & physical examination done & disease causing it evaluated. In the meantime, give your eyes rest & do eye exercises(consult a physiotherapist).

Hope I have answered your query.
