Monocular Triplopia vision - two spot on the lense
I tried to be very brief. I am wearing eye glasses, I have undergone eye surgery for retinal detachment for my left eye in 1988 at Denver Hospital. It was not successfull. Due to similar nature the doctor found on the right eye, the doctor performed laser threatment on the right eye to prevent any retinal detachment.
About 2 years ago, I had double visions, which was corrected through refraction. In addition, at the current age of early 40s, I was prescribed with multi-focal lense since I was rather preferred to do my reading without glasses.
About 6 month ago, I have changed my prescription again since I have poblem reading signage from some distance. Just within few weeks, the vision deteriorated again. I saw three images, the second is not as sharp as the first, and the third is rather blurry. For example, I saw the single lane divider on the road as two from the distance of about one to two cars and it merge into one line as it is become nearer. I could not recognize face at distance of even about three meters away and difficult to read signage until it was very close..
I have seen two opthalmologists for the past months. Problem improves with pinhole. I can see/read clearly from the pinhole. All other optometrist tests were negative. No color distortion. No haze.
The first opthalmologist was suggesting for chaterac operation since the refraction does not solve the problem. Since it was the only good eye I have, I went for the second opinion. The second opthalmologist was initially unable to find the reason why the refraction does not solve the triplopia problem, since chatarac was insignificant that does not require for chatarac operation. She has further examined my good eye using another set of latest camera equipment. Then she has noticed two tiny spots on the lens (via zoomed pictures) that most probably the cause of the triplopia vision.
My questions before I go for the eye surgery:
1. Does this happen anywhere in the wolrd.
2. What cause this "spots" on/in the lens (is it really on the lens, on other surface i.e. on cornea).
3. Can it be corrected by any medicine?
Thank you for your attention and hope to get response.

Thank you for your clarification. So, there is only one choice for me which is to gp for cataract surgery.

1) yes. 2) Most likely an aging change with uneven change in the lens (cataract). 3) No, you need surgery.
