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

My neuro-opthalmologist told me that prisms generally only work for a period of time. I got some, used them very successfully for a while, then took them off completely for a couple of weeks. Then the doubles came back, so I stuck them back in the glasses. OK for a while, but now I still get some double vision the prisms don't correct. That's when the neuro guy told me that they only work for a while. So I'm happy when they work, and go back to closing one eye when they don't and I need to see mono with my distant vision.
