It's a difficult question to answer without actually examining you myself. MS can cause numerous eye symptoms, including affecting the nuclei of the 4th and 6th nerve especially along the median longitudinal fasiculus of the midbrain. This classically cause an Internuclear Ophthalmoplegia (INO). Prism can help somewhat, but it won't perfectly cure the symptoms of double vision. You probably won't be prescribed surgery. Your DL may be revoked if you can't pass the DL test or if you are experiencing symptomatic double vision.

Thank you for the reply!
I have been to my specialist and to an eye clinic for the prism glasses.
I don't think my double vision is that bad.. I now have a level 2 to get used to for now and will probably go with a 3 in 2 months time. This is with my head not tilted. Yahoo!
She mentioned I would be at least an 8 with my head tilted to the right. Thankfully I don't walk around with my head tilted to the right.
I have found the computer screen at work much easier to look at but find that now when I take the glasses off (they are only for reading) that the double vision is much worst so I am looking forward to a new set of glasses for near and far.
My doctor did say it was 4th Nerve damage causing this.
There was no mention of surgery.. Very happy about this!
Thank you again for reply!
