What Causes Double Vision?

at my last eye exam my doctor told me I had holes in my eyes. I now have developed double vision when I look far away. If I cover one eye I can see clearly. I do wear glasses to correct vision far away and progressive lenses. I am 57, female. The doctor said the double vision would last 6 weeks ? I don t have any other symptoms. Do I need to see a eye doctor ? thank you.

Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
 
Yes, definitely you need to consult an ophthalmologist ( eye doctor).

There are many reasons to see the doctor right away. You may be having an issue with accommodation of vision, due to that you can't point focus far off objects. You may be having diabetes ( if you didn't ever ruled out ) or optic nerve problems. He will examine your eyes and will run a battery of tests on you to rule out the cause. He will also measure the pressure inside your eyes to see if there is any issue like glaucome. So make an appointment today.


Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.

Have a wonderful time ahead.
 

Best Regards!
