Mr Lee PL (M/56) came with complaint of seeing horizontal shadow binocularly with his prism incorporated glasses some time ago especially after long hours of seeing his phone (he removes glasses to see near). He first started seeing diplopia about 20years ago & he had his first prism incorporated glasses 15+ years ago.. he has had 3 previous pairs of prism glasses.
