What Causes Fluttering In Right Eye While Reading Or Knitting?
Question: My right eye has started fluttering when I am reading or knitting (doing close eye work). Also, while I have always had a lazy eye, I am starting to get above/below double vision as well. For the first time, I was given Up/Down prism. What could be causing these symptoms if my eye exams was ok, structurally speaking?

Detailed Answer:
fluttering of eye is mainly ticks. you have got a lazy eye which will cause anisometropia. it will result in squint since you will try to use the good eye. the lazy eye will deviate and try to fix if other eye is not covered. proper refraction should be done to detect squint and astigmatism appears your oblique muscles are involved. test for movement of eye muscle and detect the effected muscle.prismatic correction are given when there is problem in up and down movement and there is diplopia.surgical correction is not possible since you have got high cylindrical problem. considering your age eye patch of good eye and forcing amblyopic eye to fix will not help. it can help up to 9 years of age
