Working Together to Strengthen Your Vision
Our optometrists have extensive experience in diagnosing and treating binocular vision dysfunction (BVD). BVD is not typically detected in routine eye exams, and our patients must complete a specialized questionnaire to help us screen for signs of this condition.
You may have undiagnosed binocular vision dysfunction if you experience:
- Eyestrain
- Double vision
- Blurred vision
- Visual fatigue
- Headaches
- Dizziness
Please call our office to book a BVD exam.
What is Binocular Vision Disorder?
Your eyes should work together to help produce your 3D perception of the world. This visual teamwork is referred to as binocular vision. When your eyes are not synchronized, it can lead to a large amount of strain on the eyes’ muscles.
Poor binocular vision can result in issues with:
- Coordination
- Playing sports
- Judging distances
- Maintaining eye contact
- Motion sickness
- Dizziness
- Anxiety
Treatments Are Available
Prismatic lenses play a prominent role in treating binocular vision disorder. Still, there are many varieties of BVD, and our optometrists will work closely with you or your family member to develop the proper treatment for your condition.
Depending on the type of BVD, many patients experience 72-92% improvement using prismatic lenses, with treatment lasting between 2-3 months.
If you have concerns or feel you are affected by binocular vision dysfunction, reach out to us at Total Vision San Francisco. We can provide you with our comprehensive questionnaire and get you started on the path towards healthier vision.

- Plan to spend 2-3 hours with us for your binocular vision exam.
