Using ‘piggyback prisms’ to measure large angle strabismus – don’t simply add them together
An experimental study was conducted with the aim of developing a method to measure strabismus angles larger than 50 prism dioptres (PD) using ‘piggyback prisms’ – stacking Fresnel and block prisms. The stacked prisms were placed 2cm from the light...
