Yes! The prism lenses angle the light coming into the eye so that both eyes are optically looking at the same spot, even if one eye is physically pointing elsewhere.
Had a co-worker who had one of these lenses years ago, made it possible for him to function comfortably. (Strangely enough, another colleague at the same company has no memory of this guy’s odd glasses!)
These days, it’s likely your surgeon will inject a minuscule amount of Botox into the stronger muscle that’s pulling your eye out of alignment. Outpatient procedure, walk out of the office cured.
I did some research on the surgery and most said it was very simple and no pain afterwards. It is odd but I do not have nearly as much trouble when I wear my prescription sunglasses. Outside, of course! I know a lady who wears the thick glasses—never knew why. Thanks.
Sometimes I have to wonder about the medical profession. I talked with my surgeon’s office today and was told I have to see the neurologist before seeing her. I called him and was told they did not receive the fax from her with my info so no appointment til 6/23 which is the soonest I can get in. This info was supposed to have been sent in February. So, now I have the MRI on 5/27 and the neurologist a month later. Wonder when my surgeon’s appt. is. : )
