@Strizzlow20, The psychosomatic comment from your doc seems a little lazy to me. The way your eye muscles point is going to affect how you perceive things. I have double vision on a bad day and I've also had the shapes of things look wrong. Double vision happens when the muscles can't steer both eyes to look in the same exact direction. If your left and right eye are consistently steered in the same different way, you will have double vision (and that's why prisms can help).

When your body tries to control your eyes and can't, the muscle movements can become jerky rather than smooth movements. When the right and left don't move in the same way consistently, I think it can cause things to look distorted in shape or wavy.

I don't know what your symptoms are exactly but it doesn't seem hard to imagine that poor muscle control could change what we see in many different aspects. If not, we must both be psychosomatic.
