For those living with Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD), daily activities can feel frustrating and overwhelming. From the moment you wake up until you go to bed, the world around you may seem out of sync, blurry, or exhausting to navigate.
Everyday Challenges:
BVD can make even the most routine tasks feel daunting:
- Reading books, documents, or even your phone becomes difficult due to blurry or double vision.
- Watching TV or looking at a computer screen causes fatigue or discomfort.
- Driving, especially at night, feels unsafe due to depth perception issues.
- Participating in sports or activities becomes frustrating due to poor hand-eye coordination.
- Work productivity declines due to mental fatigue and visual confusion.
Many individuals with BVD adapt to their symptoms without even realizing it. For instance, they may avoid reading, take frequent breaks, or prefer audio over visual tasks. Children may resist homework, fall behind in school, or struggle with self-esteem.
Why You May Not Know You Have BVD:
Many people living with BVD have seen numerous specialists, only to be told their eyes are “fine.” Standard vision tests often fail to detect the subtle eye teaming issues associated with BVD. This can lead to years of misdiagnosis and frustration.
