Once that's done, he'll give me an rx for glasses with the type of prism that works best..Hopefully it will get rid of at least some of the dizziness. Good luck!
I asked about the prisms. The ophtho told me that from my description of the symptoms that my vision is changing daily and that the prism probably would not work for me. He said if it stabilizes and doesnt get any worse or any better after awhile, he'd check into making me a pair of prism glasses. Until then tho, I'm wearing Scotch tape on my left lens of my glasses and a dark patch (the dark patch for when I'm outside in the sun)
