Binocular Vision Dysfunction in Edmonton & Sherwood Park
When your eyes don’t align perfectly, even small tasks like reading or walking can feel exhausting. Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD) happens when your eyes send slightly different signals to the brain, forcing it to overwork to merge them into one image. The result can be symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and poor balance.
At Village Eye Centre, our optometrists in Edmonton and Sherwood Park diagnose and manage BVD with advanced eye exams and personalized care, helping you see clearly and comfortably again.
Symptoms of Binocular Vision Dysfunction
Even minor eye misalignments can cause major discomfort.
Common signs of BVD include:
- Headaches or eye strain, especially after reading or screen use
- Dizziness, vertigo, or poor balance
- Nausea or motion sensitivity
- Double or blurry vision
- Difficulty focusing or maintaining attention
- Fatigue during visual tasks or driving
If you recognize these symptoms, you might benefit from a full BVD screening at our eye clinics in Edmonton or Sherwood Park.
What Causes Binocular Vision Dysfunction?
BVD can develop for many reasons — from eye muscle imbalance and prolonged screen use to head injuries or age-related changes. Sometimes, even a mild misalignment can lead to significant visual strain.
At Village Eye Centre, our optometrists, including Dr. Brennan Nelson, Dr. Sindy Tromposch, and Dr. Adrian Atwell, use advanced diagnostic tools to measure how your eyes work together. Identifying subtle coordination issues early helps us create targeted treatment plans that improve comfort and clarity.
Diagnosing & Managing BVD at Village Eye Centre
Our comprehensive eye exams include specialized testing to evaluate how your eyes coordinate and focus. If we detect signs of BVD, we’ll design a management plan tailored to your needs, which may include:
- Prism lenses to gently correct eye alignment and reduce strain
- Updated prescriptions to support focusing and reading comfort
- Lifestyle and ergonomic recommendations for visual comfort
- Referrals when neurological or vestibular care is necessary
By combining precision diagnostics with personalized care, we help you find lasting relief from dizziness, eye strain, and headaches caused by BVD.
Headaches, Dizziness & Balance Issues — Could It Be BVD?
Many patients are surprised to learn that symptoms like vertigo, neck tension, or frequent headaches can stem from eye misalignment. Because your eyes and balance system are closely connected, BVD can make it feel like the world tilts or shifts when you move your head.
Our team identifies the link between your visual system and these physical sensations, then helps restore balance through proper lens alignment and ongoing monitoring.
