Many patients with Vertical Heterophoria get very dizzy while driving a car. This often leads to severe anxiety attacks. This problem can get so bad that these people can not function or lead normal lives. A very lovely woman I will call G, I had the pleasure of examining last week. She had been suffering for 10 years with dizziness. She would experience severe dizziness in the car, which lead to anxiety attacks. She also complained about an unsteady feeling while she was walking, neck ache, sensitivity to light, and an anxious feeling in large open areas. Classic symptoms of Vertical Heterophoria. She had seen may doctors and tried many treatments. Nothing had helped her.
During her first visit to the Neuro Visual Center of NY, G felt an immediate difference while wearing the trial frame with her prismatic lens correction. G felt more steady and grounded on her feet, she was able to walk a straight line, and she felt her dizziness decreasing. She could actually feel her eye muscles relaxing. It was so rewarding to see the look of pure joy on her face. I can't wait for G to get her new prism glasses and be on the road back to a normal life!
