Hi @johnbishop and fiesey76, yes, how we choose to deal with these traumatic issues is everything. It has also been my experience, that we don't necessarily get over them rather we get through them. This story in particular is heartbreaking. I lost my mom when I was 10, unexpectedly, and there were six of us little kids. But to lose both parents at a young age, wow, that's pretty heavy-duty! Take great care of yourself and warmest regards, Sunny flower

I doubt very much that prisms ground into a lens could be removed. One inexpensive option is to have your ophthalmologist put a prism sticker on the lens. It's not a permanent solution, but it's something that could be done to see if a ground in prism would be the answer. Another possibility is having 2 pairs of glasses.

I have a prism ground into the right lens, but after a month or two, the double vision became worse than ever. When I switch to my sunglasses, that don't have a prism, it takes a few minutes for my eyes to adjust. If I'm only going to want sunglasses for a short time, I use clipons. A prism can't be ground in a sunglass lens, I believe. My vision is noticeably worse when my eyes are tired, especially for reading.

For the month that the prism worked, it was really nice. @avmcbellar - Toni has given me good information about treating diplopia, some of which I'll pursue if/when it gets bad enough.

As if we didn't already have enough things to deal with! Right?

Jim
