Our screening method involves two parts: Our Screening Questionnaire, which helps clarify who might benefit from evaluation and care, and our Diagnostic Method, which is where we identify the very small amounts of misalignment requiring treatment with specialized micro-prism lenses. We can treat Binocular Vision Dysfunction, along with many other vision impairments, thus ensuring that the patient sees clearly, effectively, and is significantly relieved from symptoms. We use a specialized screening method to accurately detect this condition. When you suffer from binocular vision dysfunction.
And of course, not everyone with the aforementioned symptoms will have BVD. Binocular vision dysfunction means your eyes are not synchronized and working together correctly. In the past, BVD was difficult to identify, as the standard vision tests are not sensitive enough to find the small amounts of misalignment causing BVD. Over the next several visits, the aligning lenses are fine-tuned and continue to improve and eliminate BVD symptoms. In fact, the average patient will notice a 50% reduction of symptoms by the end of their first visit. Our micro-prism lenses help patients to feel noticeably better immediately. These micro-prism lenses realign the images to create one clear image, eliminating the eyes’ struggle to do so. In addition to the standard eye examination, our compassionate doctors utilize a comprehensive NeuroVisual Examination to determine the extent of a patient’s misalignment and use these results to prescribe specialized aligning lenses. Our doctors at Heights Eye Center have trained in the pioneering work of diagnosing and treating Binocular Vision Dysfunction. It can manifest at any time, with symptoms usually developing around 40 years of age. As people with these abnormalities get older, the eye muscles become even more strained from trying to constantly realign the image they are sending to the brain, which further exacerbates uncomfortable BVD symptoms.īVD can also develop as a result of a stroke, brain injury, or similar neurological disorder. It can also be caused by a nerve or eye muscle abnormality, which is something many people are born with.
Some people experience BVD due to facial asymmetry, where one eye is physically higher than the other. Causes of BVDīVD can be caused by several different factors.
Even when the misalignment is small and physically unnoticeable, the symptoms can be debilitating. However, in most cases, the misalignment is very subtle, making it all the more difficult to identify. When the misalignment is severe, it causes double vision. This makes it difficult for them to see one clear image. However, in those with Binocular Vision Dysfunction, the eyes are misaligned and each sends a different image to the brain. In people with normal binocular vision, eyes work in tandem and are perfectly in sync at all times to send one clear focused picture to the brain.
