If you are an optometrist, optician or other health professional dealing with prisms in orthoptic and optometric practice, “Optometry Today” filmed a talk I did at 100% Optical in 2019 – and it’s now available on YouTube https://youtu.be/ZMaB2Zo4SyU
If you would like to see how we collect the data we have published, here is a 10 minute talk about the method https://www.dropbox.com/s/jsqvbgv1vmlwonn/Lab%20Screencast%20slides.mp4?dl=0
I have prepared some Mini-Lectures for the International Orthoptic Association too
