A member asked:

Had brief episode of sudden, severe double vision. i blinked my eyes & it persisted. went away after a few minutes. did not close one eye then other.

Exam: You should see your ophthalmologist and probably an internis or neurologist to evaluate your symptoms. I would worry about hypertension, diabetes as possible but would want to rule out any ocular muscle imbalances too. More serious condition considerations would require more elucidation of your symptoms. An exam is essential.
