Question:
I had double vision after having Lyme disease. Now I have a prism which was changed to 23. What else can be done?
Answer:
If it has been more than six months since your symptoms developed, you may be a candidate for surgery. Twenty-three prism diopters of prism in your glasses is probably uncomfortable and heavy.
