Lecture: Prescribing Prism for Diplopia in Neuro-Ophthalmic Disorders Part II

During this live webinar, we will continue to discuss the role of using prism to alleviate diplopia. We will briefly review the testing used to evaluate a diplopic patient. Next, we will use a step-wise approach to investigate the etiology of the double vision which will determine what type of prism to utilize. Prism for diplopia and visual field restriction will be discussed, including the advantages and disadvantages of both. Finally, cases will be used to illustrate how to prescribe prism for common neuro-ophthalmic and neurologic disorders including cranial nerve palsies, thyroid eye disease, and neuro-degenerative disease among others.
