Eye examination needed

Detailed Answer:
My dear,
Thanks for sending your query to us.
This is a gross diminision of distance vision.You have to see an expert to rule out,1)need of glasses and 2)detailed fundus examination .The double vision has many reasons but apparently in your case need of glasses is primary.
This examination is to be done by optometerist and online test will not help anyone.So get an appointment soon and get back to me in case of any further query in this regard.
