Understanding Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD)

Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD) is a condition where the eyes are not properly aligned, resulting in two distinct images being sent to the brain. This misalignment can lead to a range of symptoms, including headaches, dizziness, anxiety, motion sickness, and chronic neck pain.

Common Symptoms of BVD

Physical Symptoms: Neck pain, clumsiness, head tilt.
Neurological Symptoms: Migraines, vertigo, seizures.
Anxiety Symptoms: Panic attacks, agoraphobia.
Reading Challenges: Difficulty focusing, fatigue.
Driving Symptoms: Anxiety, car sickness, night glare.
Binocular Vision Symptoms: Double vision, poor depth perception, problems with hand- eye coordination.

Causes of BVD

BVD can be triggered by various factors such as facial asymmetry, concussions, or head injuries. It may also be inherited or brought on by conditions like stroke, Lyme disease, or Covid-19.

Prism Glasses for BVD

Prism glasses are designed to help align the images sent to the brain, reducing eye strain and alleviating symptoms. These custom-fit lenses may require periodic adjustments to maintain effectiveness.
