Can a toric lens cause double vision?
With the asymmetry and floppy bowtie seen on this patient’s topography, the manufactured perfect symmetry of the toric IOL will unevenly address his irregular corneal astigmatism. This situation may result in higher-order aberrations, which may present as double vision, ghosting, or a sense of visual discomfort.
Can multifocal lenses cause double vision?
Simultaneous vision multifocal contact lenses create a dual or double-like visual experience. Patients interpret this experience as “blurred vision,” so it’s important to educate patients about what they’re seeing.
Can lens implants cause double vision?
The IOL is the artificial lens your doctor puts in your eye during surgery. It can slip out of place, causing blurred or double vision.
Why do I see double after cataract surgery?
Double vision after cataract surgery is most commonly attributed to extraocular muscle restriction or paresis from surgical trauma or anaesthetic myotoxicity. Rainin and Carlson8 were the first to suggest that myotoxicity from the local anaesthetic could result in temporary or permanent extraocular muscle paresis.
Is it normal to see double after eye surgery?
LASIK, PRK, and other forms of refractive surgery sometimes cause double vision. When the corneas are altered, it may initially cause light rays to scatter instead of focusing properly. Fortunately, this issue usually clears up on its own within a few weeks or months.
How long do you see double after cataract surgery?
The consensus seems to be that it takes 1-3 months. So you should expect your eyes to have stabilized 2-4 months after the surgery. You’ll probably have another Ophthalmologist appointment around that time.
Why do I see double when I wear glasses?
Prescription glasses can contribute to poor vision and monocular double vision if they are out-of-date, the frames are bent or the lenses are scratched. Binocular double vision, or binocular diplopia, is caused by misalignment of the eyes. This causes the images from each eye to be off a bit, making you see two images.
How long does it take for double vision to go away after cataract surgery?
The consensus seems to be that it takes 1-3 months. So you should expect your eyes to have stabilized 2-4 months after the surgery.

How much astigmatism should you leave after toric IOL implantation?
“That’s a step you have to take if you want to improve your outcomes. It helps minimize surprises and it improves the percentage of patients seeing well without glasses after toric IOL implantation.” Dr. Waring adds that it’s good to aim to leave about 0.25 D of with-the-rule astigmatism.
Can a toric lens be inverted on one eye?
Not inverted, but the top on the bottom and the bottom on top. If so, would it cause any problems. I have a lazy eye & cataracts in both eyes. Dr suggested the Toric Lens would improve vision in my lazy eye along w/ cataract surgery. do u think this is correct for me.
Are multifocal lens implants right for You?
Now, multifocal lens implants are slowly but surely becoming the norm as they offer a natural, safe, and effective way to completely correct vision for all distance fields. Think of multifocal lens implants like permanent bifocals or progressive lenses.
What could be causing my Double Vision?
What I have gathered it could be caused by astigmatism to incorrect lens placement. Since I do not have, or never had astigmatism, can I assume the lens was placed incorrectly since I noticed I could see the edge of the lens immediately too? The double vision makes everything seem blurry and makes me a bit sick to my stomach.
