The use of vertical prism in the treatment of vertical deviations has been done successfully in many cases. However, prism adaptation does occasionally occur. Obviously, vertical prism cannot correct the cyclophoria which is secondary to a paresis of one of the obliques. This is less apparent with the paretic superior or inferior rectii muscles. This case report describes the successful visual training program for an incomitant hyperphore who had indicated adaptation to relieving prisms.
