Binocular Vision Disorders

Binocular vision disorders affect how both eyes work together to create a single visual image. Normally, the eyes align and focus simultaneously, enabling depth perception and clear vision. When there’s a misalignment or coordination issue—such as with strabismus (crossed eyes) or convergence insufficiency—one eye may point differently, leading to double vision or difficulty focusing. This can impact daily activities like reading or driving. Treatment options vary and may include vision therapy, glasses, or surgery, aimed at improving eye coordination and visual comfort. Proper diagnosis and management are crucial for optimal visual function.
