Many people suffer from symptoms like dizziness, headaches, blurred vision, difficulty reading, or a sense of imbalance without realizing that these issues could be caused by Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD). This condition occurs when your eyes struggle to work together as a team, resulting in a constant strain on your visual system. At Eye Care North, we treat BVD with specialized care to help improve your comfort, focus, and overall quality of life.
Binocular Vision Dysfunction is a visual condition in which the eyes are misaligned, even if that misalignment is very subtle. This slight misalignment forces your brain and eye muscles to work overtime to correct the issue, leading to a wide range of physical and cognitive symptoms. People with BVD often experience:
Headaches and migraines
Dizziness or motion sickness
Double vision or blurred vision
Difficulty concentrating or reading
Anxiety in crowded or visually busy environments
Poor depth perception or coordination issues
These symptoms can be misdiagnosed as other conditions or dismissed altogether, which can lead to years of discomfort without effective treatment.
One of the most effective ways to treat BVD is through the use of micro prism lenses. These lenses are specially crafted to correct the misalignment of the eyes by gently redirecting light so that both eyes can work together more easily. Even small amounts of prism can have a significant impact on how your eyes function and how you feel throughout the day.
Micro prism lenses are custom prescribed based on detailed diagnostic testing. They help relieve the strain on your eye muscles and reduce or eliminate the symptoms associated with BVD. Many patients report almost immediate relief and a noticeable improvement in their ability to read, focus, drive, and perform daily tasks.
Treating BVD with micro prism lenses can dramatically improve your quality of life. Some of the key benefits include:
Reduced discomfort: Relief from chronic headaches, eye strain, and dizziness
Better focus: Improved reading speed and comprehension
Greater comfort in busy environments: Less anxiety and disorientation in stores, crowds, or during travel
Improved coordination: Enhanced depth perception and balance
Overall well-being: Better visual comfort can lead to improved mental and emotional health
When your eyes function properly, everyday tasks become easier, and you no longer have to battle through unnecessary symptoms.
