Check the double vision to see if it is horizontal or vertical - for ex. the TV is side by side (horzontal) or the TV is on top of each other (vertical)
Search through the threads as there are other areas where vision has been discussed.
As for me-the droopyness comes on when I am getting very fatigued. It has helped my family n friends out tremendously and they can clue me in to when my fatigue is starting to get to the point of overwhelming as they can visually see the fatigue by the degree to which my eye lids are drooping.
A cool cloth (ice chips if u can tolerate) over the eyes will decrease the amount of drooping n is usually pretty indicative if the drooping is from MG versus something else like a stroke.
Be sure n rest -stop everything n rest when the eyes start to drop-its like a warning signal!
I hope this helped some - also the blurryness for me gets only bad when I become fatigue. Rest will restore the strength but mestinon has been the savior drug of my life for right now. Keeps me moving on the go.

forgot to add: Be sure and go see your eye doctor as simple vision problems can cause blurred vision. DO u have other symptoms besides the eyes
