Prism glasses are one of the most common treatments for double vision. They make it easier to focus on an object with both eyes. Double vision occurs when light falls in different places on a person’s retinas. It distorts and doubles what they see. Prism lenses bend light before it hits the retina.
Prism glasses are prescription eyeglasses with special lenses for correcting double vision (also known as diplopia). In some cases, prism glasses may also be prescribed to help with eye strain (depending on the cause).
Prism correction is used in eyeglasses for some people with diplopia, or double vision. This is when someone sees two separate images of one object. The prism helps align the two images, so that only one image is seen.
Prism glasses, or prism lenses, are special plastic or glass optics that eye doctors prescribe to treat binocular vision defects, including double vision. They change the direction where light is reflected, directing it to the correct place on the retina.
Prism glasses compensate for eye misalignment by redirecting the light rays to make the two images align. Prism glasses are measured and prescribed in prism diopters.
Prism glasses are prescription glasses designed specifically to correct certain types of double vision (diplopia). They work by refracting light before it enters the eyes to make sure it is directed onto the same area of each retina.
Glasses with prism lenses are used to correct chronic double vision. They align the wearers vision to help them see clearly.
Prisms, by definition, are triangular in shape, and made of plastic or glass for the purpose of dispersing light into a spectrum, or changing the direction in which light is reflected. Prism lenses are special lenses that are prescribed by eye doctors and infused into regular lens prescriptions.

Prism lenses might be the best option for eliminating your eye strain or double vision. Vision therapy retrains your eye-brain connections to improve your visual skills for clearer, single vision, with or without your eyeglasses.
