Worsening diplopia with no explanation

Beka, I forgot to ask. Has any of your eye doctors tried 'prism' glasses for your double/poly vision correction?
I was at an MG group, and borrowed a couple of other patients glasses for a moment to try on and they sharpened things up for me.
At the doctors office they tried a couple prism lenses on me, but, they didn't seem to work as well. After my cataract surgery, they
may try some more, assuming the cataract surgery doesn't help with my double/poly vision.

Hi @dinoman I too have diplopia. The type matters on which nerve is affected. The nerves control the eye muscles and are responsible for the eye movements. Depending on how the eyes are twisted a prism may or may not help. In my case they do not so I have to consider eye surgery. For now I am working on vision therapy which seems to be helping. My only concern is the motion sickness due to the diplopia. Hope this helps. Toni
