Our binocular vision system controls how our two eyes work together to produce a single, clear image. In today’s digital age, our binocular vision is under more stress than ever to perform near tasks that require a finely tuned eye alignment for sustained periods of time. Binocular vision disorders include convergence insufficiency or excess, accommodative insufficiency, strabismus, amblyopia, and others. When the binocular coordination of alignment and focusing is out of balance, it may lead to the following symptoms below.
Binocular vision dysfunctions are commonly first diagnosed in childhood, since it can impede school performance. Some patients cope with the symptoms of binocular vision disorders for most of their life, until a new job puts undue stress on their binocular vision system. For others, brain injuries, strokes, or even mild concussions can be a trigger for onset of symptoms.
At Metro Eye we perform a binocular vision symptom screening on all new patients. Using our Neurolens Virtual Reality Headsets helps give our doctors a snapshot of your binocular vision system and opens up the conversation about symptoms that are limiting your visual comfort and optimal functioning.
For patients that need a more in-depth testing of their binocular vision system, Dr. Ringle will do a secondary visit billable to medical insurance to further diagnose and treat the condition. Specific tests may include: stereoacuity / depth perception, horizontal and vertical eye alignment, convergence and divergence ranges, focusing ability, eye movements, and more.
Dr. Ringle may prescribe specialized spectacle lenses and/or vision therapy exercises. Each treatment plan is customized to the individual depending on their vision challenges, vision demands at work, school, or personal life, and particular goals of improved functioning.
