It is almost miraculous that a simple pair of glasses with prismatic correction, or as we like to call them visual orthotic devices, can be the solution to so many problems. Vertical Heterophoria can cause headaches, neck aches, anxiety, balance issues, dizziness, reading comprehension problems, to name a few. When the eye muscles are under constant strain to keep the retinal images aligned, all of these symptoms can present. However, this condition is so often not even looked for because it is not well known, even to most eye doctors. It is just something not taught in school, though the condition was described as early as the 1800's.
My mission is to spread the word about vertical heterophoria and other binocular vision dysfunctions (BVD). If we can identify patients with BVD early on, so much suffering can be alleviated. In the learning disabled population this is paramount. It is well documented that children with learning difficulties, often have BVD.
If you have unexplained headache, dizziness, anxiety in big spaces (malls, supermarkets). If you have seen many doctors, had many tests, tried many treatments with no relief.... please think of your eyes. Log on to my website and take the questionnaire. A pair of glasses with prismatic correction may be the medicine you need!
