Hi Noel, sorry to hear of the issues you have been having. It is certainly not ideal that you have not been able to take your glaucoma medications. Double vision is not typically something that is associated with glaucoma. From your message, I am unsure if you are still in the hospital. If you are currently in hospital then certainly make it known to a medical professional that you are experiencing double vision. If you are at home, I suggest you get in contact with your local eye clinic or urgent eye care provider and discuss the details of what you are experiencing in the hope of being seen if appropriate. I have looked back at your previous posts and can see it is acute glaucoma that you have had in the past. Please contact 111 or present to A+E if you are at all concerned that you may be having another attack.
