Ghost vision in one eye

[Jimmy1234566]

I've been having ghost vision (seeing double image) in one single eye.   It's been going on for about 3 weeks now.   Both eyes get really blurry at night though.   In the morning my ghost vision goes away for a few minutes, then it comes back.   Any ideas on what it could be?

I've been to an opthamologist and he said I need to change my glasses perscription, but I don't think that will solve the issue.

Since the leading cause of your symptoms would be uncorrected or improperly corrected ghost images is refractive, usually astigmatism you are presumptive in thinking that you should not start with a glasses changes. Until that is done and eliminated as a cause no further testing is appropriate.

thanks doc!

Actually, just to give some more detail, my ghost vision is present whether I'm looking at something close to me, or looking at something further away from me.   This leads me to believe the perscription change will not solve the issue.    I literally am seeing double from one eye.

Your reasoning is specious.  One eye ghosting is called "monocular diplopia" by some but almost never are two distinct images seen in one eye. In any case it doesn't change the answer I gave.
