Hi..
Thanks for choosing HCM..
Double vision can be caused by a refractive error or squint or any nerve palsies..
As you have already gone for consultation, don't worry..
Refractive error especially cylinder is the commonest cause of double vision as it causes distortion of objects..
Let her use glasses after the number is finalised and she will be alright..
Take care..
