Question:

What is the purpose of a prism? I have one in my left lens along with my bifocals but I didn't quite understand why I needed the prism.

Answer:

Angela,

Prism is used to help the 2 eyes work together better.
It is a very common addition to many glasses and most patients don't even know it is in the prescription.
 
Thanks for you question!
