If you described your "double vision" in greater detail you may get some useful advice. Near? Far? Both? Two distinct objects? Overlapping? Vertical? Horizontal? Diagonal? Constant? Intermittent? Time of day? Duration?
These are just some of the questions I would ask to differentiate your condition. It would be highly unusual for dry eye to be the cause.
There may be two separate issues occurring if it's a true diplopia.
Look for a dr. who'll take adequate time to investigate and ask the questions above.
Consider a private-practicing optometrist who won't give you the bum's rush. Your problem(s) is solvable.

@drgbico thank you for the advice.

Double Vision started in Feb almost the same time my daily headaches started. If I am looking at the TV guide on TV, there is a half a character below the original one. Its in both eyes and is mosy obvious in the evening. It both near and far, on the TV as well as on my phone. I have been to a optical Neurologist, a regular Opthmologist, several opthamologists, optomitrist and a dry eye specialists. I've had several MRI's, CT's, a Thyroid Specialisy, blood work and many other tests that I don't have names for. Everything is normal. The headaches and dry eye continue. I requested an appt with Mayo and they refused me. Im at a loss and don't know where to turn any more.
