Dear XXXXXXX,
Thankx for sending your query to WWW.WWWW.WW
Allergic conjunctivitis does not lead to ptosis and diplopia, because allergy is superficial and ptosis and diplopia occur due to nerve involvement. We have to come to a diagnosis for your wife for the reason of ptosis and diplopia.
Montair though rarely causes muscle cramps and muscle ache but is that the reason for diplopia and ptosis in your wife is to be accertained.
One way to accertain is to stop Montair for a few days under your phycians guidance and continue with local drops.
Further some neuro-opthalmological checkup to rule out any cause of ptosis and diplopia is required.And you should XXXXXXX a nero-ophthalmologist soon.
Kindly do get back to us if you have further queries.
Regrds,
