A member asked:

Could prism eyeglasses help restore peripheral vision loss caused by drusen?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Prism eyeglasses are used to shift the image of one eye relative to the other to avoid doubling of vision. Drusen that are significant can wipe out portions of the vision and will not be improved by prisms.
