Hello and @agirlthing1977 sure hope corrective lenses can help you. I had dry eyes for about 15 or more years and tried every drop they sold; currently on Hylo but starting to sting. Then 2018 was diagnosed with narrow angle glaucoma. The eyedrops for that I have used since every night are Latanoprost - the Monoprost version as it doesn't contain preservative and comes in a nightly little plastic container, one dose. It makes skin around eyes go dark and other side effects, as most drops do have side effects.
I think it was into a year of use when woke up one night and in dim light saw double dresser, double clock etc. - went to emerge but where I live only saw a GP who took eye pressure. I was asked if both eyes and I didn't recall; also if the double vision was horizontal or vertical and I think a bit of both... this continues to now and happens once in a while esp. if I turn my head in bed to see alarm clock/double - no explanation. Then 2020 had iridotomy laser each eye to relieve future pressure in eyes and after that one morning saw two of spouse coming up the stairs... whoa! Since then, if I am looking at on object in front of me, the objets in background are double - and if I look across the room at an object it is single but the object in front of me is then double (reverse) and I have been told it's old age... I am 78. Third type of double vision for me is if been on ipad a lot in a day reading/searching then switch to a book or titles on tv, they have sort of are double but more a shadow underneath or above each letter... moving face up and down or shifting eyeglasses makes no difference. So three other types of double vision and occur on and off... so reading others comments I am thankful the rest of the time my vision is pretty good with specs - but it sounds scary and to live with it all the time must get you down, plus strong medications....
Not as serious but for last year or so also I wake up through night and whole bedroom room is foggy; or just my lit ipad, clock and phone are foggy... it comes and goes and I panic as wonder if one day it will stay foggy - couple of times after afternoon nap woke to foggy room too lasting about 15 minutes... have no idea why... so hope am not intruding on discussion about other type of double vision - hopefully one day in the future they can find answers to everyone's vision problems and wishing everyone who has any eye issues can get the help they need 🙏
