Binocular vision dysfunction refers to the inability of both eyes to coordinate properly.

When the eyes cannot perform this eye-teaming task accurately, this is referred to as binocular vision dysfunction. Many patients can go undiagnosed for many years despite consulting multiple specialists or patients may be misdiagnosed with having migraine disorder, sinus headache, or vertigo.

Symptoms include double vision, light-headedness, severe headaches, sinus problems, nausea, poor depth perception, unsteadiness while walking, light sensitivity, neck and shoulder discomfort from twisting their bodies to focus, reading problems, car sickness and anxiety in large spaces like malls.

Often symptoms of ADD and ADHD appear similar to those of Binocular Vision Dysfunction.

There are several treatments for binocular dysfunction. Frequently a pair of spectacles can help to improve eye alignment quickly.

These spectacles can have a refractive prescription or even prism to help eliminate symptoms of binocular dysfunction. Reading glasses are commonly prescribed to help patients with problems with near tasks.
