BVD/NeuroVisual® Medicine

Understanding Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD)

Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD) is a condition where your eyes are misaligned, sending two different images to the brain. This misalignment can cause symptoms like headaches, dizziness, anxiety, motion sickness, and chronic neck pain. 

Symptoms of BVD

  • Physical Findings: 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, hand-eye coordination issues.

Causes of BVD

BVD can be caused by facial asymmetry, concussions, or head injuries. It may also be genetically inherited or triggered by conditions like stroke, Lyme disease, or COVID-19.

Misdiagnosis of BVD

BVD symptoms are often mistaken for conditions like anxiety disorders, ADHD, migraines, sinus problems, and more. Proper diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment.
