That's as clear as we can make it. Strabismus problems especially require in person, real exams by Eye MDs.

Wilmer Eye at JH is one of the worlds best centers plus he/she has examined your eye, so I can't really add anything. You should report your observation to the strabismus specialist.

Many patients who have worn prisms are unable to go without them.
