Binocular Vision Dysfunction is when the eyes do not work smoothly together and are not perfectly synchronized. People with BVD struggle to see one clear image. This leads to discomfort such as double-vision, headaches, dizziness, even problems reading.
For people who have BVD, their eyes are not in alignment (not in sync) so their eyes will transmit two images to the brain that are in slightly different positions to one another. The brain won’t accept this situation and responds by forcing the eye aligning muscles to fix the problem by realigning the eyes.
