Double vision

[Smykael]

I have been seeing double of everything, it's causing awful headaches. I'm a 19 year old female. I am wondering what this could be?

My only fear is that last Thursday I was pushed on the ground by a security guard at a concert (for no reason) and smacked my head on concrete and ever since I have had eye troubles ;could this be related?

I was getting double vision and it turned out I had strabismus (sounds like an italian plate).  My eye was straying or "looking out" a lot (used to be called "wall-eyed").  I had it as a child and was operated on at age 13 to correct, which it did and it worked for about 50 yrs., then it began again.  Had to have the same operation at age 63 to tighten the muscle behind my eye.  Pretty simple O/P surgery--no real pain.

Hi. I'm wondering what this could be, too, but the only way to find out is go and see an EyeMD or your primary care doctor very soon. Double vision is not normal and should be addressed by a professional. Please let us know if you can't seek help.
Thanks
