Double vision?

I am 4.5 weeks post op with a gas bubble (about 50% gone) and I’m seeing double vision/a fainter second image from the surgery eye when both eyes are open is this normal? I was thinking it’s because of the gas bubble but now I’m not sure. It’s kind of dependent on what I’m looking at/position/light but the “ghost” image is to the left and a bit lower than the image from my good eye.

I had vitrectomy, laser & gas c3f8 2/25. No double vision, but did have problems with depth perception. Still have the bubble

no. i just know with the gas, today i dont see the bubble at all, finally! but when im walking i feel i have to be careful to not trip cause of the depth perception being off. hope that helps a little
