Answer
Hi Theresa,
It sounds like your husband needs to see a different doctor and bring all his old and new glasses with him to the appointment. Depending on what the next doctor says, he may need different glasses or a more complicated workup to figure out what's wrong. True double vision must be diagnosed and cannot be dismissed without explanation.
Best of luck, let me know what happens.
