What to expect: The NeuroVisual™ Exam

What tests are performed during a NeuroVisual™ Exam?

A comprehensive binocular vision assessment is the best way to find out if you have binocular vision dysfunction. A NeuroVisual™ trained eye doctor can successfully diagnose BVD through a specialty binocular vision exam designed to assess your entire visual and physical system. In addition to standard eye exam tests, the eye doctor will assess the following:

  • Eye movement

  • Eye teaming and tracking

  • Eye focusing

  • Binocular fusion

  • Balance and gait stability

  • Posture and neck alignment

  • Visual convergence

  • Visual-spatial awareness

  • Blood pressure and heart rate

  • Depth perception

Can I still have BVD with 20/20 vision?

Yes, patients can have both 20/20 vision and Binocular Vision Dysfunction. During a routine eye exam, each eye is checked individually, but patients are not regularly assessed for how well their two eyes work together. Patients who see 20/20 have a high level of acuity in each eye, but this measurement doesn’t tell us anything about how the patient’s two eyes are working together as a team (i.e.- binocular vision).

The thorough NeuroVisual™ Exams performed in our clinic evaluate patients’ binocular vision to determine what is causing their BVD symptoms and to custom fit microprism lenses to relieve these symptoms.
