Double Vision

Hey everyone, I want to ask if anyone here experiences double vision, constant or otherwise. If you do, do you correct it with prisms in your glasses, or is there a possible corrective surgery that I'm unaware of? I'm currently dealing with this at the moment, and would like to be made aware of possible fixes, before I see my opthalmologist at the end of the month; I'd like to know enough to ask her some informed questions. Thanks in advance.

Double vision, yes. Had a prism from the NHS that sticks onto a glasses lens. Did the job but really showed up in pictures. Living with PPMS it got worse and as there is a top number in prisms (35 I think) 4 years later I now have a frosted lens on one side. Not aware of any fixes and with RR it could get better so the sticky prisms can always be removed.

Hi, I have RRMS. First big symptom was optic neuritis. I also developed double vision at about that time. I had the sticky thing on a glasses lens for a bit, but now have that built into new lenses. It isn't a problem day to day, as the glasses are fine. However, throwing/catching/racket sports not really a realistic option any more. Good luck with it.
