Any Experience Of Early Morning Double Vision?

[johnmr233]

For some time now I've been having problems with double vision. Seen the doc about it - but it tends to happen first thing in the morning and gradually improves over an hour or two. By the time doc sees me - vision is normal. Yesterday morning it was worse than it's ever been and I must admit it's becoming a concern.

If anyone has experienced anything similar, or has knowledge of this condition, please comment or send me a private message. Ta.

Now I'm off to build a bridge between both peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Okay best of luck. We get so little humor and few jokes that I failed to recognize same.

Thanks so much for the reply, Dr Hagan. I'm seeing my own doctor here in the UK tomorrow, and I shall mention your comments.

The Kilimanjaro business was a joke. See the old Monty Python sketch here:

You need to see an Eye MD that specializes in eye muscle problems (strabismus), they are usually called "Pediatric ophthalmologists" as most strabismus is in children.  This could also be a medical problem like thyroid disease, myasthenia gravis, neurological, etc. Get evaluated before going to Africa.

I have climbed Kilimajaro to the summit. Why would anyone want to put a bridge in that pristine mountain? If you want to go from peak to peak walk and don't put a man made structure on the roof of Africa. No need to turn the 7 Summits into Disney World
