I believe it would be important for you to understand what double vision is. The proper name is diplopia. There are two different types of Diplopia, monocular or binocular.

Quote:
In monocular diplopia, the double vision is caused by a condition within one or both eyes and does not resolve when one eye is covered.
Quote:
In binocular diplopia, the eyes are misaligned. Each eye sees a single image when working alone, as when one eye is covered, but when both eyes are open the brain perceives two adjacent images

What you appear to be describing is binocular.

There can be different causes for Diplopia (Thyroid Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Myasthenia gravis, eye muscle problems, lens problems, and more)

Obviously there are many issues to consider when dealing with a symptom such as Diplopia. Hopefully, your Drs. will be able to sort it all out soon.

Take care.
