Headaches, Migraines, and Your Eyes: The Hidden Connection

More Than Just a Headache

If you suffer from chronic headaches, dizziness, or anxiety in crowded spaces, your eyes might be to blame. Even if you have 20/20 vision, your eyes may not be working together perfectly.

Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD)

BVD is a condition where the eyes are slightly misaligned. To correct this, your eye muscles constantly strain to align the images. This overuse leads to:

  • Temple pain and headaches
  • Dizziness or motion sickness
  • Neck and shoulder tension
  • Difficulty reading or using a computer

Digital Eye Strain

In our digital world, we blink less and focus intensely on screens. This can exacerbate underlying alignment issues and cause "Computer Vision Syndrome."

Relief is Possible

Specialized micro-prism lenses can correct this misalignment, allowing your eye muscles to relax. Many patients experience immediate relief from years of chronic pain.
