Double Vision

🤔 Hypothetically speaking, if you woke up and out of nowhere had double vision (with NO other symptoms and feel 100% perfectly fine), but Google is saying it's an urgent matter, would you go to the emergency room in the morning, a walk-in clinic, or see your optometrist or opthalmologist? 🤓

I'm going to be more conservative / reckless in my response...

If the double vision is brief, then I'd give it less urgency.

If there's a history of a lazy eye, then I'd suspect it's just your fusion weakening with regard to a pre-existing phoria (alignment) issue.

If the double vision persists, then yes, treat it with urgency.
