Hi Rosemary.  I'm new to the list.  I've been lurking and waiting for the
oppotunity to make a meaningful contribution.  Like your father I suffered
from double vision.  Mine was due to a surgically repaired detached
retina, and caused me great discomfort.  Happily I was referred to the
University Hospital pediatric ophthalmology department in which a
specialist in prisms evaluated me and prescribed new eyeglasses in  which
prisms were ground into the lenses.  I still have some visual problems,
but I no longer have double vision.  Have your dad check it out.  It's
definitely worth trying.  Good luck.
