What Kind Of Ophthalmology Specialist Should I Consult For Double Vision?

my 80-yr-old Mom is having double vision and her Dr (an ophthalmologist) just keeps telling her to come back and see him in a few weeks. The condition is worsening she is worried and tired of not being able to see what she used to. She does have cataracts, and again, her Dr says they're not too bad and she doesn't really need surgery. She wears glasses and is having double vision and something else odd happening when she has her glasses on. I'm not sure what kind of Ophthalmology specialist she should be seeing. Any advice?/
