Binocular Vision
Your eyes need to work together, not just see clearly on their own.
Most people are familiar with long-sightedness, short-sightedness, and astigmatism. Almost nobody's heard of binocular vision testing until I bring it up in a consultation.
To see clearly and comfortably, your eyes need to work together quickly and accurately, and focus properly, so your brain can combine what each eye sees into one 3D image. When that teaming or focusing isn't working well, you can get headaches, blurred vision, dizziness, eyestrain, double vision, trouble reading, or tired and sore eyes, even with a perfectly normal prescription.
What can be done about it?
In most cases of binocular vision dysfunction, a carefully prescribed pair of glasses helps, sometimes with supportive plus lenses to relax the eyes, or prism lenses. Vision therapy exercises can complement that treatment to relieve eye strain symptoms further.
