Help

[Josh316]

I had cataract surgery ten years ago when I was 18, and since then I have had constant "double vision" or halos as most people call them. I see them during the day and especially at night, my vision is just getting worse and worse. I go get Glaucoma tests done about 2 to 3 times a year but they come out negative. I asked my Opthamologist if a lens transplant would help me and he said that my lenses are fine and I shouldn't have anybody touch them. I am so frustrated with the way I see, enough is enough. Please tell me if there is anything I can do, I am so sick of not being able to see straight.

Then I have ghosting, I never new what to really call it

You are not describing your symptoms clearly enough for me to understand the problem.  Either you have true double vision, where each eye is pointed in a different direction and each eye sends you a distinct separate image of one object, OR you have "ghosting".  With true double vision the second image goes away when you close one eye.  With ghosting, closing one eye doesn't solve the problem.  Halos are a different symptom entirely.
