Consult an eye doc: please consult an ophthalmologist ASAP.   For how long do you have these symptoms?  Is it getting worse with time?  You will through exam and history to help with your diagnosis.

Question 2

hi i have been diagnosed with fybromyalgia and under active thyroid for six years, i have started to get double vision when tired! is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Multifactorial: Fibromyalgia is a multifactorial consequence of hormonal, immune system and nervous system dysfunction resulting from genetic predispositions and dietary and environmental insults. These factors increase inflammatory chemicals which can cause pain and inhibit thyroid function. Double vision can be a serious problem. Have this checked out.

Question 3

i get double vision sometimes when i'm very tired. what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Pencil Pushups: Double vision when tired may be the result of a muscle imbalance, similar to a lazy eye in children.  Pencil pushups may be tried to strenthen the muscle, where you look at print on the end of a pencil held at 12 inches for 15 seconds then look at a distance and repeat.  If this does not help, special glasses with prism may be necessary.

Question 4

what causes blurry and double vision when i lie on my left side. i start to get extremely tired with no explanation?

Accepted Answer

Positional blurring : This sounds vascular and I would strongly suggest evaluation by an ophthalmologist or internist. A lot depends on your age and underlying conditions. A phone call may have to due until the epidemic clears, but don’t hesitate to make that call. I would have many more questions if this space allowed for more. Take care.

Question 5

i got a blood test for mg because of drooping eyelids and double vision that get worse with fatigue. the test came back negative for both achr and musk antibodies. does this rule out the possibility or could it still be mg? i only have eye symptoms?

Accepted Answer

: A neurologist or ophthalmologist can assist in the next step with clinical tests such as the ice test and electrophysiologic tests, particularly single-fiber electromyography, which have a valuable role in diagnosis of MG  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36778719/

Question 6

i was tired reading my phone. suddenly, i noticed the text had a small "shadow" of the text underneath it down and to the right. no double vision looking at objects in room. just text on contrasted backgrounds. went away in ~5 min. no other symptoms.

Accepted Answer

Not to worry: You are probably spending too much time reading your phone. Give yourself short breaks in between and look at things far away.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 7

slight double vision when driving tired late at night. what is that?

Accepted Answer

Mild muscle weakness: Most common explanation would be a slight misalignment of the eyes when tired. This kind of double vision should go away when you close either eye. Other possible causes would not go away when one eye is closed. A type of glasses lens called prism may be able to help this symptom. You should be seen by an eye md for diagnosis and treatment recommendations.

Question 8

for 1 1/2 month i have had zero appetite, ive lost 30 pound ive been making myself eat,  and double vision and fatigue. whats could be going on?

Accepted Answer

Weight loss: Symptoms could be from GI, Neurological , Psychiatric or Metabolic or Endocrine problem.  After 6 weeks probably time to get checked!

Question 9

am i seeing double because of tired eyes? how to tell if it's actually double vision?

Accepted Answer

Confirm yourself: Test for doubling by covering one or the other eye and seeing if the doubling disappears.  There are a few conditions that can double one eye alone, but these are uncommon.  If you are tired and the eye(s) have a tendency to drift, then doubling might occur due to the drift.  If this is troubling or persistent, have your ophthalmologist check it out.
