I notice there is a lot of talk about double vision - Have you discussed this at any length with your eye doctor? Cecily had the problem and finally the doc got the message and was able to get correction. If you are going to an Optometrist try an Opthalmologist and lean on him. I suspect that so often doctors in various specialities are prone to blame lots of stuff on PD rather than do a little thinking or researching the literature.
