A member asked:
Can someone correct with an eyeglass lens, double vision caused by a cataract?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Possibly.: As cataracts grow, they can change your refractive error (the power needed in your glasses). Sometimes, the power change affects astigmatism, and double vision can occur. Have your ophthalmologist test you for your best-corrected vision, and see if the double vision goes away. If it does not, and there are no other eye problems, then typically, cataract surgery will solve the problem.

Double vision: Double vision in 1 eye (monocular diplopia) can occur with a cataract. New eye glasses help in some cases depending on cause & severity. See eyedoc2020.blogspot.com
