Can prism glasses help near reading?
besides the 20 20 20 rule, do prisms or glasss in a way that looking far, could focus in close work would help?
If your problem is convergence insufficiency then you could try reading glasses that have reading add like +1.00 diopter so your eye doesn't have to focus so much and base in prism so they don't have to converge so much. It has been helpful to some of my patients.
That is a very vague question but if you mean do prism glasses help reading. ANSWER: only people with very symptomatic convergence insufficiency; they rarely are necessary and usually blur distance vision.

Reading glasses dont ease convergence demand, maybe prisms could help relax focus muscles and still do close reading
