Seeing Double After Crystalens Implant and Cataract Surgery
February 12, 2011
I had cataract surgery at the same time I had my doctor put in a Crystalens implant. It’s been one month since surgery and I still see double. My doctor told me to give it more time.
Is this normal? If he adds a .5 magnifier to that eye I can see clear. I asked if he put the right implant in but all I got was he didn’t do anything wrong. Can you help me understand what’s going on with my eyesight.

if the 0.5 magnifier removes the double vision, then its not really double vision- its a blur, and it means the power of the implant is off by 0.5. this can happen, as the calculations for the implant are not fool-proof. you may very well need some laser correction to get rid of the blur if it really bothers you. i would advise a second opinion at this point.
