I was fitted for glasses when I was 13 and the opthamologist , a more educated doctor than a regular optomeitrist. who examined me, said that my glasses have to be set properly to create the correct angle to adjust them for pantoscopic vision.

It is good to know to bring in your old glasses to be fit for your new ones so the optician can look at the angle of slant in the old glasses to make sure your new ones have the same slant to get proper pantoscopic tilt for best vision results. Not all patients have the same tilt, but many do need it to make looking through glasses work better for them.

Yes, I think It is wonderful that eye doctors can fix things for people like your brother and for myself. I have astigmatism also known as lazy eye and the right eye sees things at a slightly different angle than the left eye due to a curvature of the lens of the right eye not being exactly perfect as it should be.

@kobesbuddy , I hope that really does work well for him. One lazy eye for me is bad enough. I can't imagine what it would be like with two. More power to him.

@lookatdesktop My brother has two lazy eyes, so the doctor put a prism in his glasses.
