I too have experienced double vision which happened right after my diagnosis in 2009. My eyes would lock and I couldn't look side to side. I tried to use an eye patch (moving it from eye to eye) and my neoro prescribed two rounds of IVIG to no avail. I was so sick at my stomach that I couldn't eat.

I eventually ended up in the hospital where I was given prednisone and in a matter of three or four days my eyes were acting properly. Well after four years of taking prednisone (and the dosage being reduced slowly) I now have osteoporosis and a fractured spine.

Good luck finding a solution that does not have the horrible side effects that I have experienced.
