back when i was diagnosed...they made plastic prisms for my glasses
sorry to hear about your experience...double vision/vertigo is what led me to be diagnosed (optho said was either brain tumor or ms). my double vision lasted from late jan 08 until june-ish 08. it truly sucked.
but my optho did make some prisms (plastic) to put on my lenses...they fell off a lot so i made him give me a couple of pairs...despite his terrible bed-side manner...he was wise in telling me to wait for the expensive option of having a prism lens...also as the double vision changed over the months getting gradually better...steroids were not given as an option even though i asked...
now, when i get tired, stressed or super hot...the doubles return! usually have to rest it out but it truly sucks....
hopefully, things will get better for you..do ask about the plastic "stick-on" prisms...i can ask my provider about the name if you need help...take care, m

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do. Eleanor Roosevelt
