I can't find anything on PARKINSN about double vision. There's a little bit abot it on Wed MD. I'm going to forward a message about double vision from a neuroopthalmologist (it appeared among my emails today). Did you give up driving because of the double vision? My wife says it was a factor in my giving up driving, but she feels the biggest factor was my slow reaction time. I came close to several accidents. But we're going on a cruise in a few weeks. We bought a travel wheelchair, and she'll be pushing me around. She's a great caregiver. And of course she now does all our driving.
