Demiguise - Should I still be wearing these glasses?

Hi Demi - here I am again - hope you don't mind yet another question, but I really could use your help on this one. I've been pretty ill since we talked last with more and more pain in my face esp. round the eyes - this is unusual for me. I have had 2 severe migraines which were felt mostly at the back of the eyes (both) and have taken days for the eye pain to go away. I'm now wondering if I should be wearing these glasses as I notice when I take them off, my vision is not as bad as it used to be. Everything used to swim and now its not so bad - just weird when theres movement and I can feel my eyes trying to adjust. I'm wondering if they have changed again and the prism is now straining my eyes? do you think thats possible?.
I saw my Neuro last week and asked him if he would refer me to an ophthalmologist (my doc refused when I asked her - said it was just migraines - her answer to everything now)- he said he felt an orthoptist would be more appropriate & would look at a referal when I see him next in 2 weeks. I'm wondering if I should wait that long as referal will take a while - other option is to go to see optometrists again - very expensive and I'm rather cash-strapped at right now. I think the prism is 4-5 diopters.
In case you're interested, the MRI came out normal again. Lovely Neuro gave me Imitrex injections for those real bad episodes and 900mg Neurontin /day to try. He says he still doesn't have a dx for me, but he's going to try to treat symptoms in the mean time.
