A general ophthalmologist may not be sufficiently knowledgeable about an eye muscle imbalance. See an ophthalmologist who specializes in strabismus. You can find one using the doctor directory at www.aao.org.
Dear Mizzum,
I would recommend that you speak with your eyeMD and have your questions answered. It sounds as if you have two issues, one a muscle imbalance responsible for the double vision and the second, nearsightedness.
