Prisms after surgery

I had strabismus surgery at ages 4 and 6 on both eyes.

I'm currently 31 and I guess my muscles have overcompensated because now I have alternating extropias. I don't get double vision unless staring at words in bright light or words far away like when I'm in class or staring at a monitor.

My optometrist wants to try prisms. Been reading on here and looks like everyone tries them before surgery but was wondering if anyone used them after the surgery.
