What Causes Double Vision While Suffering From Glaucoma?

I suffer from glaucoma and have taken eye drops daily for years. Tonight, while reading and now looking at my computer, I seem to have double vision. There appears to be a shadow behind each letter that I m looking at. I feel fine. I checked my blood pressure yesterday at CVS and it was 100 over 66 which is normal for me. What could be causing this blurred vision all of a sudden?
