Prisms are a noninvasive tool used to manage diplopia in patients, especially when their strabismus is small and comitant. Prisms can be used for horizontal, vertical, or oblique (but not torsional) strabismus. Ground-in prisms provide the best image quality and cosmetic appearance. Fresnel prisms are best for strabismus that is thought to be temporary or for larger deviations.
