I was prescribed prism glasses when I was diagnosed with accommodation and convergence insufficiency (ie my eyes don't work together in binocular function).
The symptoms, for me: hard to read any email, short passages, or watch tv. I felt my eyes going cross eyed; the lines seemed to jump and when I drive the signs are blurry and jumpty. I have 20/20 vision, it is just not clear.
4 months after the accident, I couldn't track a moving pen without vomiting during a doctor visit prompted a visit with neuro-opthalmologist.
