Binocular Vision Dysfunction
Seeing 20/20 is only part of what makes clear and comfortable vision. We also must move our eyes in a coordinated way to follow or fixate a target as well as keeping it single, while simultaneously adjusting our focus to keep things clear. In addition to all these , we must also integrate all of this with body posture and movements. If all of these moving parts are not working together efficiently, discomfort can result, particularly with tasks done up close, such as reading or computer work. Symptoms of those with binocular vision dysfunction include:
- Blurred vision
- Double vision
- Eye strain or fatigue
- Headaches
- Shaking of words or words running together on the page
- Difficulty reading for long periods of time
- Skipping and repeating lines and losing place on the page
- Burning, itchy, watery eyes
