These temporary prisms can be easily removed and are placed on the back of your specs. 1.Hemianopic spectacles

2.Entropion spectacles It has an additional extension behind the spectacle frame And it is roughly parallel to the lower eyewire known as crutch or gallery. This gallery supports the skin of the lower lid. It is one of the optical aids for entropion .
Entropion condition
A short-term solution for entropion is the use of skin tape, an adhesive made specifically for the skin. At night, apply a small piece of tape vertically to the cheek to pull the lower eyelid down enough so that it does not turn inward while asleep. This inspired to make this spectacle.
