One?technique that I use is partial patching of the eye by using transpore tape
(found in most nursing stations)? I simply place the tape on the medial aspect
of the patient's pair of glasses.? This will compensate for the double vision
but at the same time allow stimulation to the eye to prevent problems and lack
of peripheral vision.

Besthing to do is find a neuro optometrist. Let them help the person first.
I know we work with developmental/ neuroptometrists in our area. First see
if they can correct for it, prisms, special patiching, etc. Does the person
get it all the time? Is it just from vision or also from vestibular issues?

The only compensation that I know of for double vision is
patching one eye. Of course, there are complications
associated with patching.
