Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD) Explained

Our eyes are designed to work together as a set, yet when one of them sees differently than the other, our visual system can be massively affected. Occurring in either a horizontal or vertical manner, this difference in vision can lead to a number of symptoms, including the ones mentioned above as well as motion sickness, light sensitivity, difficulty reading, and more.

Without knowing about Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD) , it can be tough for physicians to piece these symptoms together, but those who have been trained in Binocular Vision are able to accurately assess if Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD) is the cause. Most often, Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD) is triggered after head trauma although some are born with the condition.
