What Should I Do For My Double Vision Problem?

I have double vision, if I cover one eye, I can see with the other. If I cover the other eye, I can see with that eye also. With both eyes open I have the double vision. I am male, 67 years old and in good health. Can you give me any idea of what is going on. This has only been going on for about a week.
