Could the wrong prescription of glasses cause visual disturbances & double vision?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: It depends upon how off the prescription is. Moderate difference from the true power can be compensated well by most eyes. Only if the prescription is way off can you experience blur and doubling of vision.
