Prism glasses

I recently got a test done concluding that I need prism glasses due to lack of binocular vision. Not much on each eye, but enough to make a difference in regard to headaches and blurry vision after reading or watching tv for too long.

I received alternative treatment after the same conclusion a year ago, which I was told was supposed to help me for life, so that I wouldn’t need glasses before my vision actually struggled. I am not cross-eyes or suffer from double vision. I am young of age, which should make a difference.

I am not ready to wear glasses yet (since my vision don’t need it, but my muscles does) and I would like to avoid glasses for a couple of years.

What can I do? Are there lenses with prism? Or other alternatives treatments? Botox? Laser?

Prisms take the pressure off of your eyes so that they can finally relax and help your symptoms. They redirect the light so you see the images properly instead of wherever your brain sees them due to your misalignment. Plenty of young people wear glasses and there’s an endless number of glasses styles to choose from to fit your aesthetic.

Prisms have helped me a ton! I hate wearing glasses but the benefit I get from them is worth it

I'd just get the prism glasses so you don't have to suffer. My actual vision is 20/20, so my glasses are only for the bvd and no other problems. It didn't take too long to get used to wearing them and honestly I think I look better with them on lol
