Hi fellow MS'rs
I've recently noticed I have, what I can only describe as "ghostly" double vision. For example, I am staring at a car's headlights--and right underneath the headlights are an exact duplicate, but not as bright. Same thing with road signs, billboard text, etc. it is terrible at night, very distracting, so my husband drives.
It is most apparent with lights or kit objects, text, reflective surfaces, and objects with clearly-defined borders (I.e., tree branches, etc. don't bother me.) it is also much worse if I am tired. It is more severe if I look up, rather than down.
Funny thing is, if I slightly cross my eyes, just a hair, it goes away! I've been getting headaches from serious eye-strain, and more migraines than usual. I work mainly on a computer as a visual artist/designer, so this is really draining.
I have an appointment with a neuro-ophthalmologist for a complete work up at the end of the month...but not because of this. I made the appointment in late November as I haven't had my eyes checked in over a decade (got LASIK at 20, hmm, exactly 20 years ago now!) I figure I'll just deal with it when I go in...the apt. is a 3-4 hour one.
Anyone have similar issues?
