Study Overview
Brief Summary
The investigators are developing an assistive device, known as multiplexing prism that expands the field of view for individuals with acquired monocular vision (loss of an eye). The investigators are testing a simplified design and fitting protocol to provide field expansion for individuals with acquired monocular vision.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Gain in Visual Field With the Multiplexing Prism
Time Frame: Visit 2 of Study (approximately 2-3 weeks after 1st Visit)
Field expansion is calculated based on the difference of the maximum field of view on the nasal side of the seeing/functioning eye (same side as the blind eye) with and without multiplexing prism.
Secondary Outcomes
- Maximum Extent of Nasal Visual Field With the Multiplexing Prism(Visit 2 of Study (approximately 2-3 weeks after 1st Visit))
