Double vision is like chest pain it should be reported to a physician and while it doesn't have to be serious it could be. So yes you need to see an Eye MD ophthalmologist and if you have major alarming symptoms such as severe headache, trouble with speech, balance, moving extremities you need someone to take you to ER or call 911.  Also report your problem to you family/personal MD
