  • Problems with binocular vision can cause balance and dizziness issues. Many seniors struggle with their balance and are increased risk of falling because of undiagnosed binocular vision dysfunction.

      Diagnosis: binocular vision dysfunction and visual-vestibular mismatch. There isn’t a specific name for the lenses. They are just prescribed using various tools (prism etc) to improve both the binocular function and visual-vestibular function.

      About 20 years ago I suddenly developed those and similar type problems. While we’ve never reached an actual diagnosis, one thing I found that helped tremendously was switching to Birkenstock or similar orthopedic type footwear. I went from feeling like I was trying to stand or walk in wet, wobbly sand to feeling like I was anchored on firm ground. It didn’t “fix” anything but it made that symptom have much less impact. You may have to experiment with which brand works best for you.
      Birkenstock has just always worked best for me.
      I also did vestibular therapy 4-5 years ago through a physical therapy office. You need someone specialized in that though. Not just any PT. They first do movements to try and balance the crystals in your ears. I know,🙄 I thought someone was pulling my leg, but it’s a real thing. A friend of mine referred me to this specialist. For her, just doing the crystals thing fixed her vertigo. It helped me but didn’t resolve it. But after the initial 2 PT visits doing the ear thing, we then worked on specific exercises and movements which really did make a difference.
      Good luck!

    Hi. My son has been suffering from this (part 1 and 2). He has been through numerous types of vestibular therapies, seen several specialist, CT and MRI scans, lab work and balance tests. He was told that it was 3PD (I think that’s the name), possible subluxation in the neck (negative per diagnostic tests), inner ear infection (ruled out by 2 ENTs) and the like. One vestibular therapist told him that it may actually be his depth perception which could be the cause of his balance issue. He went to an ophthalmologist and was told that he had a small vision change (reading) and it appeared that he did have depth perception issues. He recommended glasses for reading but couldn’t give us any information about seeking help for the depth perception issue. He has been suffering with balance issues for almost two years now and no one can help him. Can you please tell us where he can go to see if these type of glasses could, maybe, help him? We live in Burlington County NJ.

    I had a cryptogenic stroke nearly 2 years ago at 39 and resulted in lots of vision deficits. The lack of testing and rehabilitation for eye related stroke issues is beyond frustrating. They literately do nothing, and there are zero recommendations. You leave the hospital not knowing if you'll ever see the world again. Thankfully I have healed and recovered well. One of my recovered deficits was the loss of depth perception, and also had lots of dizziness which no eye Dr did anything to test or offer correction for at all. I'm in the states but I'd love to hear more about what else I can do to recover.
    Is remote consultation possible?
    My biggest issue now is my visual snow (self diagnosed, everything is staticy) and my colors are imperfect. I can't express to you the pain not seeing my beautiful childrens faces the way I used to. Any options you can recommend? Thank you for your time.
