Major problem here

Hello, I have double vision I've describe this to more than one doctor and they are not familiar with what I'm describing because it's not the standard double vision, where there is the actual object and you see a faint double of it at it's side......... I see what people including a friend of mine who is a doctor would describe as a daily acid trip, not all the crazy stuff that goes along with a trip but the double vision portion; which I described as delayed vision...
  This been going on ever sense I was 19yrs old, I'm 28 now. out lines of door ways pop out to me before I reach the door way then trail after, same thing with street light, cars etc......  I Just started seeing aura colors. my "double vision"(don't know a better title) is real strong at night, but now I can notice it during the day also......
For some reason at night if I go out to a club it's just crazy I see everyone and that slow swaying double to every one and every thing. colors are way more dominant that last longer.
  Really too much to really make claire in this text....... But you maybe interested in knowing when I blink my eyes I can see an image of my lids still closing after it's closed. I just notice that I can also see the double in my shadow on the ground( I know that sound way far fetched) .
  A little back round I use to suffer from cluster headache for years....... Just learned how to prevent it these last two years I also have chronic sleep problems that haven't been explored. Any advice also I just met a young women who have the same issue

Thank you for your time, I will do. I hope it's nothing too serious, although it doesn't look good.
I went to an ophthalmologist  I thought the vision in my left eye wasn't as sharp as it use to be. I went from a 20/20 to a 20/30 in my left eye but I knew that had to be a direct cause of the headaches I would have only on the left side of my head.

Question? Do people describe seeing double vision in different way, If so why do you think I haven't found anyone who is familiar with the form  I describe?

Hi,

Have you been to an ophthalmologist to rule out eye diseases like strabismus and convergence deficiency as a cause of double vision?
If not I would advise you to do so as soon as you can.
Other causes include lack of sleep and excessive fatigue, diabetes, hyperthyroidism. Some diseases of the central nervous system like basilar artery migraine, brain tumors, and aneurysm.
I would suggest you to undergo an ophthalmic examination and at the same time schedule an appointment with a neurologist. Keep us posted. let me know if you need more information.
