Yes, lasik will correct your double vision. However you should firstly check whether your double vision is serious. If not, you could just use some home remedies to treat it. You could use the eye drops to get rid of the invisible bacterium in the eyes. You could also use warm compress to make your eyes vision get clear. If your double vision is serious, you could take the lasik into consideration.
