Dear welcome to HCM and thanks for choosing us.

You need to visit a neurosurgeon immediately because concussion injury require supervision of a doctor. Morever you are having double vision, that itself indicates significant injury to brain. In my opinion you should first visit a neurosurgeon as injury to brain is responsible for your double vision. After assessment of your condition by neurosurgeon, you can visit eye doctor. You will require anti inflammatory and diuretics medications.

I hope my reply will help you. Please write to us for more queries. I wish you good health and rapid recovery. Kindly rate this reply. Thanks
