What Causes Double Vision While Reading Or Working At A Computer?
My vision has been giving me problems for more than a year now. I have been to an eye doctor and they said everything is normal, but when I am using the computer or reading my eyes start crossing and things get a little blurry and I have to blink to bring them back into focus. What should my next steps be?

Hi,
When the ophthalmic evaluation is normal, that suggests there is more straining to the eye. Follow simple guidelines to get better
@ Do not continuously work for more than 40-50 minutes at a time on computer
@ Expose yourself to greenery or fresh air environment intermittently when doing computer work
@ Do splashing of the eyes with cold water with or without applying ice pack over the eyes for 5-10 minutes each during the working hours.
@ Keep your BP and blood sugar under control.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
