Astigmatism as such does not cause double vision after correction with glasses.
Pls assess yourself if it is double vision or blurred vision. Because power is higher in one eye we expect some difficulty in adjustment. But u should get used to it eventually.
If it is double vision, we have to check properly whether it is uniocular(in one eye only) or binocular (when both eye open).
And which gaze it is more and appropriately treat.
