A member asked:
I have prism lenses in my glasses. if i look at things, they're blurry. if i work to focus my eyes & squint, they become clear. why is it an effort?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: is this vision problem with near vision and distance vision or near/distance vision only? Prism in your lenses is used to help amblyopia commonly known as lazy eye, or problems with near convergence. This is when the eyes must come together to see something up close. The lens has to work harder to see things close up. Best to discuss these Issues with your eye doctor. Sorry not more helpful. Dr R
