I am hoping some one will have some ideas to this problem. I started swimming in a masters program in July and I love it. But as the 1.5 hour session goes on, I notice that my vision starts to get a little blurry. By the time we are done, I am seeing double. After about an hour or so, it all clears up and I see fine. I wear contacts but they are in place the whole time. This only happens when swiming, I have never had problem like this any other time. Could it be the goggles?I don't have this problem when in a pool just horsing around.

Exercise induced diplopia(double vision) is a fairly rare condition.
Get to an Ophthalmologist or Neurologist ASAP
This could be a simple problem with your contacts drying out your corneas due to exposure to water and chlorine. However, it could also be due to a number of other more serious conditions.
but wouldn't this happen with running as well if it is exercise induced diplopia? I have been running for years and never had a symptom of this. Plus my heart rate is much higher with running.
