Dizziness

Meniere’s Disease:

People suffering from Meniere’s Disease have problems with dizziness, lightheadedness, nausea, unsteady walking and imbalance, and/or ringing in the ears. Many of our patients have been diagnosed with Meniere’s Disease because they present with similar symptoms due to their vision misalignment, and when treated with our vision aligning lenses, are able to find relief from dizziness.

Vertigo:

Patients who have been diagnosed with vertigo experience episodes of dizziness, being unbalanced, or feel as if they are spinning. This is caused by a problem within the inner ear. Typically, when a patient is experiencing vertigo their symptoms can be alleviated by traditional methods. However, if you have been experiencing dizziness and spinning and are unable to find relief, you may actually be suffering from Binocular Vision Dysfunction. Once you have been prescribed aligning lenses and are able to combat the vision misalignment cycle, you will experience significant relief from dizziness.

Vestibular Migraine (or Migraine Associated Vertigo):

Migraine headaches can be preceded by distorted vision which is called an aura. This aura is caused by spasms of the arteries in the visual region of the brain, causing decreased blood flow to that region, which causes the distorted vision. A similar mechanism occurs with vestibular migraine, where there is a spasm in the arteries of the balance centers of the brain, causing decreased blood flow resulting in dizziness. vestibular migraine is treated with medications that are used to treat migraines headaches including medications that decrease artery spasm, as well as anti-depressant medication. However, when your dizziness is actually caused by vision misalignment, traditional treatments for vestibular migraines may not help. Our specialized aligning lenses interrupt the misalignment/realignment cycle, allowing your eyes to be able to see one, clear image, thus removing the sensation of movement and providing you with dizziness relief.

Psychogenic Dizziness or Chronic Subjective Dizziness or Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness:

People with Binocular Vision Dysfunction have had previous evaluations that were unable to find the cause of the dizziness. When a person complains of a symptom where a cause cannot be found, the doctors may think there might be a psychiatric problem such as Psychogenic Dizziness or Chronic Subjective Dizziness or Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness. Almost all of our patients that were eventually diagnosed with Binocular Vision Dysfunction were told at one time that “it is all in your head; you are making this up; you are crazy”. Treatment with aligning lenses not only provides you with dizziness relief, it also validates your sanity to your doctors, family, and friends.

Vestibular Disorders:

The vestibular system includes your inner ear and parts of your brain which control your balance and your eye movements. When damaged, you can experience chronic dizziness and severe imbalance. However, when your dizziness and balance issues are actually caused by a vision misalignment, traditional treatments for vestibular disorders may not help. Our specialized aligning lenses allow your eyes to be able to see one, clear image, interrupting the misalignment/realignment cycle, thus removing the sensation of movement and providing you with dizziness relief.
