What Is Reason For Getting Sudden Double Vision?

My husband has had two occasions now where his eyes have had double vision and it takes a few minutes for the vision to come back to normal. The first time he was playing golf and it lasted about 5 minutes he could not hit the ball because he could see two. The second time it happened was in his chair at his desk at work and for no apparent reason he started seeing double and again it lasted about 5 minutes before it went back to normal. Our concern is that this could be a warning sign of a stoke or some other serious health condition. He is in excellent health and exercises daily.
