im going to try to make this brief as im not sure if anyone responds on these boards much anymore. I apologize for any typing errors as this site is hard to use autocorrect and my fingers are clunky when typing.

Vision--i believe i have double vision. And its the scary kind-binocular. It only happens when i am looking at objects up close or about 5 feet away. Never when its far away. Does it count as double vision if i can force my eyes back together to make a singular image? I am terrified this is from a brain tumor. Help please!

    BJ please stop thinking about brain tumours and go and see an optician or optometrist. Not sure where you are in the world but I'm thinking US possibly? There are many reasons for double vision and sometimes this can be treated with simple eye exercises but you do need to find out what is causing it first of all. Hopefully the optician can give you some advice.
