double vision( Crochunter)

Hi all, im having a problem with double vision, or ghosting as the hospital call it. When i read anything or do colse up work or on the computer i see a full line of words undernearth the writen line. If that makes sence sometimes its at both the top and the bottom making seeing difficult. The dr at the eye clinic said that this was normal huh! how can this be normal? i just looked up to change the tv channel and could hardly see anything that wasnt blurred. I have had my eyes tested and have new glasses this has made not a bit of difference to the ghosting. the optetion says that my optic nerve in my right eye was pale previous ON x2 Dose anyone else have this problem is there a solution or do i just have to live with this. Many thankx Barbara.xx
