Suggest Treatment For Seeing Things Double?

hi why have I been seeing things double. Things like letters and clock hands seem to have an out line when i look, also for the past few weeks when i wake my one of my eyes burn and gradually the burning sensation fades away. i have difficulty focusing on seeing. I got my eyes checked by a specialist last year and was told there was nothing wrong.

Ophthalmologist 's  Response
If you are around 40 years then it is physiological to have difficulty with near vision. This is called presbyopia and can be corrected with glasses. If the distance vision is getting blurred too, then there could be tear film issues ( since you have burning too) or there could be a slight astigmatism. Dry eyes can be treated with lubricating eye drops and astigmatism can be treated with glasses.

You have not given your age. It appears to be refractive disorder.So refraction is to be done first. If required correction is to be given. Can apply refresh eye tear drop 2times daily.
