I have a kind of strabismus called excyclotropia (15 degree tilt). This

Just had cataract surgery yesterday on right eye.  Left eye was done 3
years ago with moderate success.  Still some glare but I am plano in
that one.
Removed patch on right eye and, after 6 six hours, and saw a red glow in

I'm experiencing a bit of double vision in my left eye while wearing my
contact lenses. My right eye is OK, so I think that this could be an
astigmatism related problem... I have 0.5 (uncorrected) in my left eye
and none in my right eye. Myopia prescription is -4.0L/-3.5R.

seems to be when i look straight ahead , i am aware of my nose profile being
in both eyes, almost central to my cheek on both sides and out of focus.

Can anybody recommend me doctor that specializes in strabismus in Toronto?

I am using the ClearCare hydrogen peroxide based cleaner.  However, I

for use with RGP lenses, just soft and hard (PMMA) lenses.

I have a patient with 1.00 cylinder level in both eyes.
which level of cylinder shall I order for the Biomedics Toric I
