Prism glasses are a great aid for people living with PSP who experience visual problems.

In particular, if you have difficulties looking up or down, the prisms can help make simple tasks such as eating, greeting guests, reading and watching TV, much easier.

If you would like any advice or want to order a pair of prism glasses, please email helpline@pspassociation.org.uk
