Do Your Symptoms Match
Binocular Vision Dysfunction?

Explore the most common signs and take the free BVD screening

to see if your symptoms may be related to subtle eye misalignment.

Common Symptoms of
Binocular Vision Dysfunction

Dizziness & Motion Sensitivity

  • dizziness or unsteadiness

  • feeling “floaty”

  • sensitivity to busy environments

  • difficulty in stores / crowds

  • car sickness or motion-triggered discomfort

Headaches, Migraines & Eye Strain

  • frequent headaches or facial pressure

  • migraines triggered by visual tasks

  • eye strain or fatigue

  • tightness across forehead or temples

  • feeling “tired” after reading or screens

Reading & Learning Difficulty

  • skipping lines or losing place

  • words blurring, doubling, or “moving”

  • difficulty focusing on reading

  • fatigue, nausea, or anxiety when reading

  • poor reading stamina

Anxiety & Visual Sensitivity

  • feeling tense in visually busy spaces

  • discomfort in stores or crowds

  • anxiety triggered by motion

  • difficulty driving, especially with traffic, curves, or over bridges

  • trouble processing fast-moving environments

People with conditions like EDS, POTS, MCAS, chronic migraine, and vestibular disorders may be especially prone to BVD. If your symptoms have been labeled as “just part of your condition” but never fully explained, BVD may be the missing piece.

Why These Symptoms
Are Often Misdiagnosed

Binocular Vision Dysfunction is often mistaken for other conditions like inner ear disorders, anxiety, ADHD, or migraines. Because the eye misalignment involved can be very subtle, it may not be identified without targeted binocular vision evaluation. Symptoms can seem unrelated, and patients are often told they are “fine” — even though the root cause is actually visual misalignment.
