Brief Answer:
Double vision needs to be worked up

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

Firstly , the visual acuity needs to be checked. Both the eyes needs to be examined. The cause of the double vision needs to be determined. Both the eyes should be examined via slit lamp and workup should be done for possible postoperative complication if required. I would suggest you visit your ophthalmologist and apprise him of the double vision symptoms that you have developed. He/she can examine the eyes and suggest accordingly. In my view its highly unlikely a wrong or unsuitable lens is the cause for the double vision.

Wishing you best of health

Thanks

Brief Answer:
Yes

Detailed Answer:
Yes, vision testing can be done and if any corrective lens is required then it can be advised.

Although, in my view, an ophthalmology review especially with the very surgeon who performed the procedure in the first place should be consulted.
