BVD symptoms
Yes. The strain from misaligned vision often leads to these frustrating symptoms.
Common symptoms include headaches, dizziness, nausea, motion sickness, neck pain, anxiety, and difficulty reading or focusing. These symptoms often get worse with screen use, reading, or driving.
BVD is a subtle misalignment of the eyes that causes the brain to struggle to merge images. This leads to symptoms like headaches, dizziness, nausea, and motion sickness.
Seeking treatment
Yes, BVD can be treated with microprism lens treatment. These lenses realign your vision and provide meaningful relief from symptoms.
The BVDQ™ Assessment identifies your likelihood of having BVD based on your symptoms. If your score suggests BVD, the next step is a comprehensive NeuroVisual Evaluation with a specialist.
If you’ve experienced chronic dizziness, headaches, nausea, balance problems, or unexplained symptoms, start with the free BVD Assessment. This quick, scientifically validated questionnaire helps determine if you may have BVD.
Diagnosis process
No referral is needed to schedule a NeuroVisual Evaluation. You can contact a NeuroVisual Medicine provider directly to book your appointment. Visit our provider directory to find a specialist near you.
Most initial NeuroVisual Evaluations (diagnosis appointments) take about 2 to 3 hours in the office. This allows time for detailed testing, lens trials, and symptom review.
You’ll undergo a comprehensive eye exam and specialized tests to check for subtle eye misalignments. A trial pair of microprism lenses will be used to assess if immediate symptom relief occurs.
Beginning treatment
Most patients return within 6 to 12 weeks for a NeuroVisual Progress Assessment. This visit allows for fine-tuning of the lenses to ensure optimal results.
No major changes are needed. Wearing your prescribed lenses as directed provides the greatest benefit.
BVD treatment often relieves headaches, dizziness, nausea, neck pain, and eye strain. Many people also report better balance and reduced anxiety.
Most patients report noticeable relief within minutes of wearing their trial TheraLens prism glasses. Ongoing improvement occurs with continued use and follow-up adjustments.
Microprism (TheraLens®)
Most patients quickly adapt and enjoy everyday activities as usual. The lenses are designed for all-day wear with minimal disruption.
TheraLens® uses cutting-edge microprism lens technology to correct subtle misalignments. This allows your brain to merge images smoothly and comfortably.
Ongoing care
Some patients may reduce their need over time. However, microprism lenses are worn just like regular glasses and integrate easily into your daily routine. Most patients experience significant relief and continue to benefit from wearing their lenses consistently over time.
Yes, they are designed for full-day use. Consistent wear helps achieve the best symptom relief.
You’ll return for an initial NeuroVisual Progress Assessment approximately 4-6 weeks after beginning your TheraLens treatment, then you usually only need yearly check-ups. Additional visits are recommended if symptoms return or change.
Costs & Insurance
Many providers offer flexible payment plans and accept HSA/FSA accounts. Be sure to ask your clinic about available financing options to help manage costs.
Some medical insurance plans cover portions of the NeuroVisual Evaluation. While microprism lenses are typically not covered by medical insurance, they may be eligible for reimbursement through discount vision plans (such as VSP, EyeMed, and others) using out-of-network benefits and open-access providers. Ask your NeuroVisual Medicine provider if this option is available for you.
Costs vary by provider and treatment plan. Treatment is often partially covered by medical insurance, though coverage depends on your specific plan and region; your doctor’s office can provide a detailed estimate before you begin.
Finding providers
You can search for a certified NeuroVisual Medicine specialist using our online provider directory. You can find a clinic by city, state, country, or zip code.
