Is there anyone else besides me that has to have prisims in their glasses? My focus is not level. One eye is slightly higher than the other. I cannot find any contact lens that will work for me. Has anyone found contacts that will work. I have been told that prisims will make contacts too thick. Help. I am so tired of wearing glasses. Skeeter7

Prisms in contact lenses are tricky to get right. For some patients there is no real suitable contact lens to correct their needs. However, it is also the case that many pateints actually find the prism is more effective in their contacts than in their spectacle lenses.
I would suggest you go back to your prescriber and ask them for their help with this. If they are anything like myself they will probably regard it as a challenge and explore all avenues and possibilities with you. Or get yourself a second opinion.
Don't give up hope.
