Eye doctor here: the only prism I know that goes that high is Fresnel prism which I believes goes up to 30. Any prism over a few diopters in a lens can distort image so much that though it may produce fusion, the image can be degraded to a point it is not usable in visual processing. Most people learn to suppress the turned eye over time, patching will help you see single as well but you lose binocularity. I would consider patching, splitting the prism between each eye and see if you can handle it, or depending on your age/candidacy consider strabismus surgery to lower amount of prism needed (as well as second opinion from an optometrist in person).
Thank you. Mine is due to MS. My former eye doctor retired and I don’t know who he used to make my current ones. I thank you, your information should help me find someone to make them. If this helps my H prism is 20 BO and V prism is 7 BD.
