Suggest Remedy For Double Vision After An Accident

I met with an accident on 31 Jan due to which I had stitches on my left eyebrows and 4 stitsches below the left eye. For 5 days my left eye was closed due to swelling and it got blue. Now after medical treatment the left eye has opened up but there is numbness and some swelling on a part of left eyelid and in the eyebrow. The main problem I am facing is I see two overlapping images when i open my eyes after sleep. It takes a few seconds for the vision to get normal. The consulting doctor has advised me 2 eyedrops------Lubrex and Oflacin. Please advise as to how and when my vision will get normal.
