When i read, it looked like letters were moving/shifting on the page. i now have prism lenses to correct this. what is the med. name for this problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heterotropia: Prisms are used to correct for ocular misalignment. Heterotropia is the general term for this. Usually more specific terms are used to indicate the alignment issue. For example, exotropia means the eyes turn out in relation to each other.
