Norman, I have told you all I can in a forum like this and my advice remains the same.

Pd of 63/60 was given with three prescriptions for eyeglasses. One for reading with prism. One for far with prism. And one for far without prism.
I have not had exophoria. Double vision along with multiple other symptoms has me seeing gp- pain Dr and neurologists since. I fell. They are now looking to the brain as process of elimination of major items. Mri of brain is next.
Question in meantime is alternating exotropia. I did not have this before fall. None of my siblings or parents have this.
what are options? I have ordered glasses and am awaiting to see if they help. Any cures? Could this be. MS? Or tumor or another disease causing the alternating exotropia?
Thank you for your time.
The amount of prism in your glasses is miniscule and unlikely to be helpful. PD meand pupillary distance and is how far the centers of your pupils are and should be the same all the time. My advice would be to see a pediatric/adult strabismus ophthalmologist. If you live in the USA you can find one near you at www.geteyesmart.org
trauma would not be a common cause of alternating exotrophia, trauma typically causes a 6th cranial nerve or 4th cranial nerve or 3rd cranial paresis and that causes other symptoms and "crossed" eyes or vertical deviation.
The most common cause would be the deterioration of a longstanding exophoria. That can "just happen" or it might be related to trauma.
