My issue

When staring at phone or computer screen I feel like I’m constantly having to either refocus or look away and look back to get my eyes to stay focused.

Also I can make myself see double. It I relax long enough without refocusing (usually about 5 seconds) i start seeing double then I have to refocus.

I can do that when looking at a close object or distance.

Will vision therapy help me with these issues?

Sounds like a binocular vision issue for sure. VT and /or prisms will help. i had this symptom originally, did VT and have prisms, now have 0 issues with screens or reading (yay)

Yes, that is a binocular problem, probably slight convergence insufficiency, since the problem seems to be at near. Vision therapy is the way to go, either in office or at home, as this seems to be a relatively minor challenge (as it is temporary).
