Double vision... do I need to see a doctor?

Hi all,

So recently I’ve noticed I’ve had some weird vertical double vision. It almost never happens in the morning and it tends to happen later at night, I notice it a lot when looking at white letters with a dark background. For example, in subtitles it looks like there is another faded set of letters above the normal ones. It goes away when I squint, and if I open my eyes wide is when I see it a lot. It not in just one eye as if I close one eye its still in the other and vice versa, and obviously when both eyes are open as well.

I wear glasses and always have to get a new perscription every year when I go to the eye doctor. Bad eyes run in the family.

Do you think it would be something like a brain tumor, just normal for someone with glasses or eye strain? I do look at my phone and computer a lot, probably 9+ hors a day, whether its school, work or videogames.

I’m not sure how long its really been going on, as the circumstances have to be right to see it. I also have a mess of floters which I know is normal for people with astigmatism.
