Can Cylindrical Power Cause Double Vision?
Hello doctor, My 6 years old daughter has cylindrical power of -0.5 in both the eyes and has been advised to wear glasses. At times she complains that when starring at same object for long time it becomes double. Is this double vision caused by cylindrical power?

Hello
Welcome to health care magic.
I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that your daughter is having refractive error in the form of astigmatism requiring cylindrical lens for correction.
Use of cylindrical lens will not cause double vision.
This requires evaluation by your ophthalmologist to find out the cause for double vision and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
