Concussion is a type of mild brain injury that can cause a variety of symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, sensitivity to light, and difficulty concentrating. A concussion can also affect how the eyes and brain work together, leading to vision problems that don’t always resolve on their own. Even when scans and routine exams look normal, lingering vision problems can quietly fuel symptoms long after the initial injury.

Many children and adults who struggle with focus, attention, or learning difficulties are quickly labeled with ADHD. While ADHD is a real and common condition, emerging research shows that to 50% of children diagnosed with ADHD have an underlying vision problems like Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD) and Vertical Heterophoria (VH) that contributes to their attention and learning challenges.

When children struggle with attention, reading comprehension, or learning new material, it’s easy to assume the cause lies in attention deficits like ADHD or cognitive issues. However, what many don’t realize is that the eyes and the visual system play a major role in how the brain processes information - and in some cases, undiagnosed vision problems can mimic or contribute to symptoms commonly associated with ADHD and learning difficulties.

Many people think of anxiety as purely emotional, caused by stress, lifestyle, or mental health challenges. But what if part of the problem is rooted in your vision?

Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD) occurs when your eyes are not properly aligned, causing them to send slightly different images to your brain. This misalignment can lead to double vision, dizziness, headaches, balance issues, and even difficulty reading. While some cases develop gradually, stress or trauma can trigger the sudden onset of BVD symptoms in certain individuals.

When a child struggles in school, parents and teachers often look for answers in the most obvious places: learning disabilities, attention issues, or behavioral challenges. However, sometimes the root cause can be something less obvious but highly impactful - Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD).

At Focus On Eyes, we help uncover the root cause and offer real solutions through advanced testing like the NeuroVisual Exam.

When we think of balance, most people associate it with inner ear health or muscle coordination. However, your visual system plays a critical role in maintaining equilibrium, and when something’s off, it can disrupt your ability to stay steady. One of the lesser-known but impactful conditions that can affect your balance is Binocular Visual Dysfunction (BVD).

Do you often struggle with nausea? Do you get car sick, especially as a passenger? Are roller coasters and spinning rides difficult for you? Or maybe you experience frequent dizziness? Many people experiencing these issues are often thought to have inner ear or "vestibular" problems. However, the symptoms don’t stop there – they might also feel clumsy, have trouble with balance, feel unstable when walking, or experience a sensation of moving as if they were on a boat. Despite seeing multiple doctors and undergoing various tests, many still don’t find relief.
