Could Your Migraines Be Linked to BVD? How NeuroVisual® Medicine Can Help

If you struggle with frequent migraines, dizziness, or a constant sense of imbalance, you may have spent years searching for relief—only to end up frustrated with temporary fixes. One often-overlooked cause of chronic headaches and discomfort is Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD)—a condition where even small misalignments in your eyes can create significant strain on your visual system. If you’ve been chasing migraine treatments without success, your vision might hold the key to lasting relief.

What Is BVD?

Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD) occurs when your eyes have difficulty working together as a team. Even the slightest misalignment between your eyes can create strain on your visual system, forcing your brain and eye muscles to work overtime to compensate. Over time, this strain can lead to symptoms such as:

• Chronic migraines or headaches

• Dizziness or vertigo

• Motion sickness

• Sensitivity to light

• Anxiety in crowded spaces

• Difficulty with balance and depth perception

The Link Between Migraines and BVD

When your eyes are not properly aligned, your brain has to work harder to process visual information. This constant effort can trigger migraines, often misdiagnosed as tension headaches or even sinus issues. Many of our patients in Richardson come to us after years of frustration—trying different medications and seeing specialists—only to find that real relief comes from treating the underlying vision misalignment.

Why a NeuroVisual® Exam Is Essential

A NeuroVisual® Exam is different from a standard eye exam. While a traditional exam focuses on how clearly you can see, a NeuroVisual® Exam is designed to detect tiny misalignments in your eyes that could be causing BVD. This specialized evaluation allows us to precisely measure and correct your eye misalignment, offering solutions that traditional exams often miss.

How Prism Lenses Can Help

If BVD is diagnosed, treatment may include customized prism lenses. Unlike standard glasses, prism lenses help align the images seen by each eye, reducing the strain on your visual system. This realignment immediately relieves stress on the eye muscles and brain, leading to significant reductions in migraines, dizziness, and other symptoms. Many patients notice a difference within days of wearing their new lenses. Dr. Kanukuntla will work closely with you to fine-tune your prescription, ensuring that your lenses provide the exact correction you need.
