Glasses with prisms

I saw double for a while until I could not stand it any more and went to see my optometrist. Fortunately, he had good experience the vision condition I was having. He suggested I wear with glasses with prisms and said this would be the type of glasses I need for the rest of my life. At first, I was reluctant as I thought glasses for prism were for much older people. I was “only” 62. He pointed out that glasses with prisms are for those who need them, regardless of age.

He put prisms on my glasses temporarily to see how I felt wearing them. I felt a bit weird for the first hour or two and was fine after that. A week later, I went back and had my new glasses done with prisms. That was 3 years ago. So far, no issue. No one can tell that I wear glasses with prisms, either.
