Proprism

Proprism is like a special lens that helps us see things in a certain way. Imagine you have glasses on and they have a different color on them. When you wear these glasses, all the colors around you look different. Proprism is like these special glasses but for your brain.

Your brain is a big part of how you see things. When light enters your eyes, your brain needs to process all that information and give you a clear picture of what you're seeing. Proprism helps your brain do this by changing how light enters your eyes.

Proprism is mostly used to help people who have a condition called double vision. Double vision means that when you look at something, you see two images instead of one. This can be very confusing and make it hard to do things like read or walk around. Proprism helps by changing the way light enters your eyes so that your brain can process the information correctly and you only see one image.

It's like when you have a puzzle with two pieces that fit together differently. If you try to fit them together the wrong way, they won't match up. But if you turn one of the pieces, they fit perfectly. Proprism is like turning the puzzle piece so that your brain can match up the images correctly and you see things clearly.

So, in a nutshell, proprism is like a special tool that helps your brain see things correctly when you have double vision. It's like putting on glasses that help your brain process information better so that you only see one clear image.
