Binocular Vision Dysfunction
What is BVD? Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD) is a condition where your eyes are misaligned, sending two different images to the brain.
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.
BVD symptoms are often mistaken for conditions like anxiety disorders, ADHD, migraines, sinus problems, and more. Proper diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment.

Our comprehensive NeuroVisual® Exam goes beyond standard eye tests to diagnose BVD. It includes assessments of eye movement, focusing, posture, balance, and more. Even with 20/20 vision, BVD can be present and impact your life.
Treatment for BVD
Prism lenses align the images sent to your brain, making the brain think the eyes are correctly aligned reducing eye strain. Prism lenses redirect the light rays to make the two images align. These lenses are custom fit and may require adjustments over time.
