Difficulty Moving the Eyes – Causes, Diagnosis and Treatment at Emirates Hospital Group

Difficulty moving the eyes, also known as ophthalmoplegia, is a condition that affects the ability to control eye movements. It can affect one or both eyes and can range from mild to severe.

Causes of Difficulty Moving the Eyes

  • Muscle weakness or paralysis: Damage to the nerves or muscles that control eye movement can cause difficulty moving the eyes. This can be caused by a number of factors, including stroke, brain injury, infection, or certain medications.

  • Neurological disorders: Some neurological disorders, such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and myasthenia gravis, can also cause difficulty moving the eyes.

  • Eyelid disorders: Certain eyelid disorders, such as ptosis (drooping eyelid) or blepharospasm (involuntary eyelid closure), can also make it difficult to move the eyes.

  • Nystagmus: Nystagmus is a condition that causes involuntary eye movements. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetic predisposition, brain injury, or certain medications.

  • Strabismus: Strabismus, also known as crossed eyes, is a condition in which the eyes are not aligned properly. This can cause double vision and difficulty moving the eyes.

  • Diplopia: Diplopia, also known as double vision, is a condition in which a person sees two images of the same object. This can be caused by a variety of factors, including difficulty moving the eyes, cataracts, or refractive errors.

If you are experiencing difficulty moving the eyes, it is important to see a doctor to determine the underlying cause. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent further complications.
