See Clear Associates, LLC – Vision Solutions for Everyday Clarity
Prism glasses are a specialized type of eyewear designed to address specific vision challenges that can’t always be corrected with standard lenses. At See Clear Associates, LLC, we offer customized prism lenses to help patients experiencing binocular vision dysfunction, double vision, and other eye coordination issues. If you’ve been experiencing eye strain, dizziness, or difficulties focusing, prism glasses might be the solution you didn’t know you needed.
What Are Prism Glasses?
Unlike standard lenses that correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness or farsightedness, prism lenses work by changing the way light enters the eye. These lenses are prescribed to correct eye alignment issues, helping both eyes work together more effectively. The prisms bend light before it enters the eye, allowing images to fall in the same spot on each retina. This reduces or eliminates double vision and other symptoms caused by misalignment.
Conditions Treated with Prism Glasses
Prism glasses are often used to treat or manage the following conditions:
- Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD): When the eyes struggle to align properly, it can lead to symptoms like headaches, dizziness, and difficulty with reading or driving.
- Diplopia (Double Vision): Prisms can align the images from each eye to form a single, clear picture.
- Strabismus (Eye Turn): Some patients with mild eye turns may benefit from prism correction to reduce visual discomfort.
- Convergence Insufficiency: When eyes have trouble working together during near tasks, prisms can reduce the strain.
Customized Approach at See Clear Associates
At See Clear Associates, LLC, we take a thorough and personalized approach to prescribing prism glasses. Through advanced testing and a detailed binocular vision assessment, our team determines the exact strength and orientation of the prism required. We focus not only on symptom relief but on enhancing overall visual performance for day-to-day tasks like reading, working on a computer, or driving.
We work closely with each patient to ensure proper adaptation to the lenses and provide ongoing follow-up care to monitor improvements. Our team is experienced in handling both simple and complex cases of visual misalignment.

Are Prism Glasses Right for You?
If you’ve seen multiple eye doctors but still struggle with symptoms like blurry vision, dizziness, or difficulty focusing, you might benefit from a binocular vision evaluation. Many people live with eye misalignment for years without realizing it. At See Clear Associates, we specialize in identifying and treating these issues effectively.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: How do I know if I need prism glasses?
A: If you experience symptoms such as double vision, dizziness, balance issues, eye strain, or headaches—especially after reading or screen use—you may benefit from an eye exam focused on binocular vision. At See Clear Associates, we perform comprehensive assessments to determine if prism lenses are appropriate.
Q: Are prism glasses permanent?
A: Not necessarily. In some cases, prism lenses are a long-term solution, especially in cases of permanent misalignment. However, some patients may only need them temporarily while undergoing vision therapy or recovering from an injury.
Q: Will wearing prism glasses make my eyes weaker over time?
A: No. Prism glasses do not cause dependency or weaken your eyes. They help the eyes work together more efficiently, relieving strain and discomfort.
Q: Can prism lenses be added to contact lenses or regular glasses?
A: While prisms are typically used in glasses, certain amounts of prism correction can sometimes be added to contact lenses, though it’s less common. We also can incorporate prism correction into your existing prescription lenses.
Q: How long does it take to adjust to prism glasses?
A: Most people adjust within a few days to a few weeks. During this period, you may notice minor changes in depth perception or clarity, but our team will guide you through the adaptation process to ensure success.
Q: Will insurance cover prism glasses?
A: It depends on your insurance provider and plan. While the eye exam and testing may be covered, the cost of prism lenses may not always be included. We’re happy to help verify your benefits.
