It was reported that a patient is experiencing double vision and ghosting with an intraocular lens (iol) in both eyes (ou).Patient was using over-the-counter (otc) eye drops and prescription drops as well (steroid & antibiotic drops).Patient had a second procedure done on (b)(6) 2022 that the patient referred to as a ¿jag laser¿ procedure to remove membranes from his eyes, however, he is still experiencing seeing double-images.Through follow-up, it was learned that the steroid and antibiotics eye drops were prescribed right after the surgery as a standard of care.The patient is only taking over-the-counter (otc) eye drops to help with the dry eyes.The patient reported the dry eyes started after he got the iol implants.The patient also complained of not being able to see clearly at all ranges in both eyes.Patient indicated that it is hard to focus close-up which affects his work, because he is a craftsman and his work has gone down as a result.He also is seeing halos and glare around lights, sees 10-15 rings around lights since the iol implants in both eyes.The double vision ou gets worse with distance vision.The patient stated that the yttrium aluminum garnet (yag) laser was performed to correct the visual problems, but has not helped.The patient is getting fitted for contact lenses for the right eye first to get 20/20 vision and hopefully remove the double vision.At this time both lenses remain implanted.No other information was provided.Patient had bilateral lens implants.This report captures the lens implanted in patient's left eye.A separate report will be filed for the right eye.
