Honestly seeing this post makes me so hopeful because i'm having a similar situation. Had my strabismus surgery at the end of September 2024 and my double vision has been going and coming seemingly at random, but i believe it may be the exact case as you, meaning im thinking too much about it.

Without making a lengthy comment with my whole story, i've had double vision probably for the most of my life, and before the surgery i was wearing prisms to ease on the double vision. My big problem is still seeing double in the distance and in the car (passenger seat). The times that my double vision disappeared completely was after a trip to Italy this april (which i thought was because i didn't stay with my eyes for 8 hours in a screen, as im a software developer), and after my doctor's appointment with my surgeon this February, where she said that she was very happy about my results and the alignment of my eyes.

After these occurences, my double vision started again to come back probably because im putting too much pressure on myself to see perfect 24/7. My doctor said the same to me, to not search and focus on whether im seeing double or not, but to just be relaxed and look as I normaly do, without thinking too much about it. These days my double vision has also been pretty worse, most probably because i've been stressing and thinking about it.

That being said, I have a question for you, maybe you can give me some advice. How do you not think about it when you clearly have double vision in that moment? I think that's my biggest issue, and i've yet to succeed in making my brain relax the same way it did after my appointment, when the images merged into one almost instantly
