Hi! Well the eye doctor said that the last time I went there (which was 5 years ago) they put prism's in. I loved those glasses! Then I moved and went to someone else and there were no prisms in it but they seemed fine. So yes he did a special exam and such.
I had severe strabismus as a child and eye drops for 11 years to correct it. I was a preemie (almost 3 months early in 1966 which wasn't that common) and had some issues probably due to that who knows. I did go back to him and he re did the exam and we talked about what might work. So after that exam he re ordered another right lens that shifted to: Sph: -1.75 Cyl -.50 Axis 107 with a Prism this time of 2 OT and he changed the "seg" height of the progressive to 17 instead of 18. I can say the left lens is fine..no problem. Strange to get used too put just fine. It's the right one that is the problem. The lens isn't in yet but I'm hoping this helps. And, as a side note in case anyone else searches for prisms in this forum I can tell you eyebuydirect said they would do prisms for $19 in the lenses when I sent them my prescription. That's very reasonable! I'll update once I get the new lens I will say that overall my eyes are less tired and I'm not straining as much. However the throwing up lasted 5 days....now I'm just with the nausea at 1 1/2 weeks out. I do love how I can look up and see and look down and see..it's a whole new world. Reading a regualr book is very tough but reading my Kindle is great. The only other problem is that the computer remains an issue due to blurriness but maybe the new lens will help that...I told him it felt to me like the corridor was just wrong...he said it could be..because when I turned my head to the left a little bit it was much better. This whole progressive with prisms thing seems like a nightmare! On Jul 19, 10:25 pm, carrots <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Alex, > First of all. You tell that they "added"prismsto your glasses.
