Good luck -- and keep me posted Nancy Shlaes 61/4 >> Nancy, Has anyone asked the question: Why is this person having the onset of eye muscle imbalance (causing the double vision) now. Your brain really doesn't like double vision--to the point that it will turn off and blind one eye in infants, rather than put up with it. That's in kids, I assume there are any number of rather benign causes of diplopia (double vision) in adults. However, the rather abrupt occurrence in adulthood is a cause to investigate further (various brain scans, etc.). I think I would find a neurologist who is interested in finding out why...
