Hi i am newly diagnosed & have just joined this group.

I am having double vision . Booked in to an experienced optician next week. I have read in various formats that certain specific lenses can help with double vision. I mainly get this at night and when I am tired. Does anyone have any suggestions , I would be very grateful.
