Binocular Vision Dysfunction & Neurovisual Medicine

Comfortable vision depends on how well your eyes work together—not just how clearly each eye sees.

Binocular vision dysfunction (BVD) occurs when your eyes have difficulty working together to create one clear image. Neurovisual medicine looks at the connection between eye alignment, visual coordination, and how your brain processes what you see.

At Jewel City Optometry, Dr. Arlene T. Yepremian, O.D., evaluates your symptoms and eye coordination to guide recommendations for your needs.

A closer look at eye alignment and coordination can help clarify the next step in your care.

Start with what you notice

Symptoms worth discussing

Tell us when your discomfort starts, what you are doing at the time, and how it affects your day. These symptoms can have several causes; an evaluation helps determine whether eye alignment or coordination is a contributing factor.

Eye strain

Tired or overworked eyes during reading, computer work, or other close-up tasks.

Headaches

Headaches that occur during or after visually demanding activities.

Visual discomfort

Difficulty keeping your vision comfortable or feeling unsettled in visually busy settings.

Double vision

Seeing two images of one object. Sudden double vision needs urgent assessment.

An evaluation focused on how your eyes work together

Your visit begins with your experience. We review your concerns and use appropriate testing to understand your vision, alignment, and coordination.

Bring your current glasses and a list of medications. It is also helpful to note when symptoms began and whether they occur at near, at distance, or both.

Your history and daily demands

We discuss symptoms, eye and medical history, and activities such as reading, screen use, and driving.

Eye alignment

Testing can assess how your eyes line up when looking at objects at different distances.

Focusing and coordination

Assessment can examine how your eyes focus and work as a team during visual tasks.
