The effects of prism seem to be a source of confusion for many eye care personnel. In some practices, unwanted, unneeded prism is a frequent source of patient dissatisfaction and complaints when prism exists in a pair of eyeglasses and has not been prescribed. The potential for prism-related problems needs to be considered with every patient, especially those that we want to fit with progressive or other multifocal lenses. This course is designed to provide an overview of prism, its optical effects and the symptoms described by patients experiencing prism problems. It will provide an overview of prismatic effect, how to calculate prism, understanding base direction, how prism is used to achieve binocular vision and how errors in the placement of lens optical centers may result in prism and potentially a loss of binocular vision.
