OA can affect any joint, but typically affects hands, knees, hips, lower back and neck. Its signs and symptoms typically show up more often in individuals over age 50, but OA can affect much younger people, too, especially those who have had a prior joint injury, such as a torn ACL or meniscus. Osteoarthritis can degrade cartilage, change bone shape and cause inflammation, resulting in pain, stiffness and loss of mobility.

Prisms are an integral part of vision therapy, which consists of customized exercises and lenses to improve visual skills and processing by retraining the brain and eyes to work together. This allows the two eyes to now perceive the object as a single image, removing the double vision, these lenses will also correct for refractive errors, so the patient sees clearly as well. Prism lenses address double vision by bending light rays onto the retina. When the eyes don’t work in tandem, an object seen by one eye may appear higher, lower, or to the right or left of its actual location, leading to double vision. That’s because their binocular vision - the eyes working together to focus on a single object or image - is not well developed. Some people, however, require prism lenses. These provide patients with perfect focus by correcting for refractive errors so light is correctly focused on the retina.
