I also developed double vision as a middle-aged adult, and I've done some research about it. I strongly suggest that you follow up on Dr. Hagan's suggestion to see a strabismus/eye muscle specialist (sometimes called a pediatric ophthalmologist). At least in my case, a painless surgical procedure eliminated my double vision. Prism glasses are an alternative solution.
There's a very interesting article by Bertram Kushner, M.D. about how changes in eyewear (e.g., switch to progressive glasses, use of monovision contacts, etc.) can produce double vision in a vulnerable group of patients. So it may not be absurd to conclude that your ReStors are somehow implicated in your symptoms. (There are many other possible causes for your double vision, including normal aging.) But your best bet for eliminating the problem is to consult an experienced, board-certified eye muscle specialist. I don't think that a cataract/refractive surgeon would be helpful.
Thanks for the response! First, I'd have no problem at all wearing glasses to read, but I've tried that but my vision is still double when looking at a distance. Second, I see ok to read; the double vision is really only a problem when looking at distant objects. Third, I do see double all the time, but sometimes it is barely noticeable except for some blurring of road signs, scoreboards, etc. The last two days, my vision is double as soon as I get up & worsens thru the day. I will try the website for eye muscle specialists you suggested. But I'd really like to find a doc who does restor lens implants for an evaluation.
The restor IOL has a great track record. The idea of needing glasses for extended reading is plausable and should be tried. Remember 80% of "happy" multifocal IOL patients wear glasses for something (night driving, shopping, computers, extended reading etc).
If the IOL was misaligned you should have double vision all the time.
