No, I am afraid that this is not true, despite the above answers. With monoscopic vision, or one eye, you might have blurred vision, but not a true diplopia or double vision. Double vision happens when the eyes do not point exactly at the same object and the brain is trying to interpret two dissimilar images. With only one eye, there will not be the second image for the brain to interpret. To illustrate this point, gently push a finger against your lower eyelid on one side while focusing on an object on the other side of the room with both eyes open. You will see this object split into 2 images. Now do it again while keeping the other eye completely closed. The object that you are staring at will appear to move, but you will not see two images of this object.
Another side note: with only one eye, the brain will loose it's depth perception which is part of this stereoscopic phenomenon of 2 images.

You actually can have double vision. There are several ways - one being astigmatism - with astigmatism people often report double or ghost images.
