An update on a case I wrote about a couple of weeks back. This young woman was suffering from headaches which were increasing in intensity everyday. She is a very good student and an athlete. This all began with a bout of mononucleosis. She went through every test, but not one of her doctors thought to have her eyes checked! Thank goodness, her Mom is a patient of mine. Diagnosis --- Vertical Heterophoria
I believe her illness put an extra stress on her eye muscles and they just couldn't work as efficiently as before. The mono just brought out the underlying binocular vision disorder. I am happy to report that since she received her prism glasses, she has not had a headache.
Please remember, each person is different. Someone with a binocular dysfunction can experience headache, another person with the same problem may feel dizzy, sometimes it is a combination. Each patient is unique and many of the symptoms can be made worse by an inner ear problem.
If you suspect you have Vertical Heterophoria, or another binocular vision problem. Please reach out , there is help. You can email me at drcbisraeloff@gmail.com
In good health,
Dr. Cheryl
