I just spoke to somebody on the phone who woke up today with Double Vision, He has not had a drink on saturday or banged his head, only wears glasses for reading.
When covering one eye the other is good vision and vice-versa, but with both eyes no good, any Sensible advice apart from wearing an Eyepatch??.

Tragically one of my employees started with the same symptoms , to cut a long story short, his eyesight has deteriorated markedly, he has had an MRI scan, seen the local eye consultant and has been diagnosed with something called L.O.H.N. or Lebers as it is also known. I am accompanying him to see the specialist in London next week,it affect men usually between 25 and 35 years old .
The most awful thing to watch happen is someone struggling to see, and there is no cure.
google it .

This man is age 47, he has had problems with Migraine headaches in the past, when i seen him a month ago, underneath his eyes looked a bit black and blue, i thought it was Dehydration, he will try and get in the GP`s Monday or an Optician.
He lives in a quiet Yorkshire village and obviously can not drive in this condition.

Most likely it's a long-standing weakness of the muscles which is just manifesting itself likely due to tiredness/stress - quite common
However, make sure you pop him down to the opticians tomorrow and not the GP (preferably not specsavers if possible) to rule out any neurological cause , trauma , lesion etc just in case .
Difficult to say any more with any degree of accuracy without speaking to him.
Heading off in a few minutes , good luck .

I have had almost identical symptoms to your friend - though my double vision occured only to the left of centre
An optician would almost certainly recommend that he goes to A&E for a scan

yes bigH if you get double vision of different amounts depending on where your gaze is then it does need urgent attention
Sounds like he needs to see a Opthalmologist or a Neurologist - a GP can refer him to both.
not straight away Occam - GP won't have a clue what to do if the double vision is due to the muscles and he wouldn't need to see an ophthalmologist (very commonly misspelt :) ) for that , whereas could either manage him or refer him .
