What Are Prism Lenses? How They Work to Compensate Vision Problems

When your eyes aren’t properly aligned, everyday tasks like reading, driving, or using a computer can quickly become frustrating and even painful. What many people don’t realize is that these issues often stem from how the eyes work together. When the eyes are misaligned, it can lead to a condition known as binocular vision dysfunction (BVD), which can cause double vision, headaches, and difficulty focusing. At Birmingham Vision Care, we offer solutions like prism lenses, which are specially designed to correct alignment issues and help the eyes work more efficiently together.


Why Regular Eye Exams Are Essential for Long-Term Vision Health

Maintaining good vision isn’t just about seeing clearly, it’s also about preserving your eye health for years to come. At Birmingham Vision Care, we believe that regular, comprehensive eye exams are one of the most important steps you can take to protect your long-term vision. Many people delay eye exams until they experience noticeable issues, but by that point, it may be too late to prevent certain conditions or preserve optimal sight.
