How Prisms Function
Prism is a transparent, solid, triangular refracting medium with a base and apex. Its apical angle determines the power of prism. A prism of one prism diopter power (ÃŽ” ) produces an apparent displacement of one centimeter to an object situated one meter away. Light entering the prism will deviate toward its base. However, image appears shifted to the apex, and the eye examined or treated tend to deviate toward its apex. This is how prisms function and manipulate the special location of image clinically.
