what kind of double vision is it?

hello,
It was 4 months age that i got a sever vertigo when i was asleep.then i got MRI from my brain and neck which was normal.doctor said that it is just inner ear problem and gave me some antihistamine like betahistin due to my vertigo.but after 1 month taking the medicine i got a strange visual disease.when i look at the surface of the thing i see a shadow above it also at night when i look at the moon or lights i see ghost image above them,the shadows and ghost images don't go away when i cover each of my eyes but when i take the hole test every thing is right.i also visited some ophthalmologists they diagnosed me whit astigmatism and prescribed glasses which solve my problem during a day but night even with glass when i look at the lights i see double.besides ray of lights really bother my eyes at night cause it seems they are too long sometimes i put my hand above my eyes to prevent ray of lights come to my eyes.i got vep test and it was normal too.it is really annoying.how can i get rid of this problem?and plz tell me if it is sign of a serious disease like MS?i will be grateful if u answer my questions.
Thank u for reading my comment

a neuro-ophthalmologist is a ophthalmologist like the one's you've seen but with special training (Fellowship) in neurology. They specialize in difficult diagnoses.  Most medical schools have one within the department of ophthalmology or you could ask the ophthalmologists you've already seen to refer you to one.

Your symptoms do not suggest MS.  You might want to get a second opinion or to see a neuroophthalmologist to try and pinpoint the problem.
