Microprism Home Integration Exercises
Find Out MoreThe wait is over and you have received your shiny new Microprism lenses, great start!
They may initially feel a bit odd when you first put them on. This is most likely due to the fact that following a consultation, your visual system can revert back to its old habituated patterns. If this happens, it can lock you into ways of seeing that makes it harder to adapt to the new prescription, making it appear that it is not working or is wrong.
Prismatic integration allows for a realignment and harmonization of the visual system, bringing back the dynamic you arrived at during your consultation. It relaxes the visual system, creating an easier transition from the old to the new.
You can do these exercises whenever your muscles are fatigued or over-worked and need resetting/re-aligning.
