Hello
It seems from the history that your husband is having double vision with headache. The presence of double vision is probably because of intracranial neurological causes which cause palsy or paresis of the cranial nerves which supply the extraocualr muscles responsible for eye movements.
Thats why your doctor has advised CT and MRI and spinal tap. The idea is to find out the underlying causes which increase the intracranial tesnion like aneurysms, tumors.....

Thank you
