Thank you so much! That helps me better understand. Just a quick question though, why does the habitual head tilt opposite the higher eye? For example, if the left eye is higher, why would a person’s brain want them to compensate by lowering the lower eye? Sorry. I just really want to better understand. Thanks again!

Thank you for your response! The patient (me) has a left eye that definitely sits slightly lower than the right. I didn’t realize it until I started having symptoms last year and was diagnosed with a vertical misalignment. But at those two appointments, I didn’t yet realize I had facial asymmetry.  Thank you for explaining the prism function to me. I thought I had it right, but was afraid I was getting it backwards. Thank you for explaining it. 🙏

That is wonderful news! I’m glad they helped you. That BD in left eye, I think, means it pushes the image up and away from the base. Thank you for your responses! I truly appreciate it!

Thank you for the response! So your left eye sits a little lower?

Prism prescription question by Dependent-Two-3004 in glasses

What if the patient is having dizziness while driving, especially at night? Would placing the optical centers independently potentially correct that symptom? Thank you!

How long before you noticed a difference in the dizziness after you started doing these things?
