About 3-4 months ago I had a single sudden episode of double vision lasting a couple hours. It returned about a month ago and occurred a couple times a week. Now it's several times a day. I have seen the eye doctor (both ophthalmologist and optometrist) and they could not see anything abnormal (other then dry eyes from the Sjogren's). The optometrist thought at first it might be eye strain, but it still occurs even when I put on my reading glasses.

I'm going to see my neurologist at Hopkins next week, but thought I'd ask here if anyone has some thoughts on what type of neurological problems could cause this. MS is about the only thing I keep running across...or medicine side-effect. I have had LP (not recent) and an MRI of the brain (last year) and there was no indication of this.

I know it's not medicine related even though I take quite a hefty list, because I have not added anything or increased/changed dosing in a long time...with the exception of a new cardiac med last week (Renexa) but the double vision was already occurring and has not changed since starting this. Just in case I stopped the only two I could possibly attribute to this (Ambien & small doses of Percocet) and it still occurred.

Any thoughts?
