I agree with your doctor. If 4th nerve was injected it could take some time for it to return to normal functioning. If the lens is in the correct position, then the 4th nerve is the culprit. It should begin to reverse and hopefully return to normal.

It could take weeks or months and small chance it won't fully return to normal. This is one of the risks of anesthesia injection around the eye. If it doesn't return then you may need muscle surgery.
Best of luck!

Thanks for the answer. Have you heard of this happening to others? And if it is the nerve or muscle how long will it take to come back?
