    Take some deep breaths....It can be anything.......If your that scsred let your doctor put in for an MRI........sounds like an eye problem.......As rocksolid said look into vertical heterophia.........there are only three doctors that specialize in this from what I understand........go see an opthamologist then take it from there..............................

    There are many causes of intermittent diplopia. Some more serious than others. You need to follow up with a doctor for a proper diagnosis. I would not recommend delaying the need for that visit.

    My wife has dry eye and sometimes she has that issue.  If it only happened once it was probably a passing thing.  Sometimes medication can cause that issue as well as an occasional eye related issue.  Sounds like you are headed in the right direction.

    Best of luck with no other occurrences, though.
