Double vision after surgery

Sun, 08/20/2017 - 09:52
I had surgery to remove a lesion in my right temporal lobe 1 month ago in July 2017 and now have double vision. The surgeon said it would go away but could not say when. Did this happen to anyone? If so how long did it take to go away? Thanks!

I had some dizziness...can't remember if I had double vision...after my surgery, but it was a result of my meds acting differently than they did before the surgery!  Once that was sorted out, no problem.If you want more details...a lot of details...go here:https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4W1q98dcPYKT0hfSTI2N3ZuYjA/viewKevin

I had double vision for about 2 months and had to wear an eye patch in order to let it heal without stressing it out.  I will go away after some time.  Do you feel any pain on that side when trying to sleep it stayed much longer with me

Yeah I've also been wearing

Yeah I've also been wearing an eye patch. It's been two months so far and I still have double vision I'm hoping it goes away soon. I don't really feel pain when I sleep on that side, it just feels weird because of all of the numbness in that area. Did your double vision gradually improve? Or did your vision just click together one day?
