I also have a epi retinal membrane, and of course, a growing cataract in one eye. Getting to the point, my optometrist has tried at least 6, probably more, prism combinations, all to no avail. The last stick-on worked for a couple hours, but now, is not working. Does this sound familiar to any one? Thank-you

Hello and welcome, Rod. I'm in agreement with Mike. Given the information in your post, I too, suggest that you see a Neuro-Ophthalmologist. If you can't locate one in your area, then an Ophthalmologist is the next best thing. While I feel there is nothing wrong with an Optometrist (and I do understand they are trained for some diagnoses) an Ophthalmologist is a doctor of medicine--an optometrist is not.
Optometrists, who refer patients when things become "interesting" are worth their weight in gold.
