Double vision is not typically listed as a common side effect after eye injections for diabetic eye conditions.

The most common experiences after these injections include:
- Mild irritation or discomfort
- Redness at the injection site
- A small spot of blood on the eyeball
- Temporary floaters in vision

These usually resolve within a week.

However, you should contact your doctor right away if you experience:
- A lot of new floaters
- Significant vision changes or more trouble seeing than usual
- Considerable pain or discomfort
- Sensitivity to light

While double vision can occasionally occur in people with diabetes due to nerve damage affecting eye muscles, it's important to report any new vision changes to your doctor after eye injections. They can determine whether what you're experiencing is a normal part of recovery or needs immediate attention.

Most people can return to their routine soon after the procedure, and follow-up appointments are typically scheduled within four to six weeks to monitor how your eyes are responding.
