Neuro-Visual Evaluation
Our specialized neuro-visual evaluation detects subtle eye misalignments causing symptoms like headaches and dizziness. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we assess binocular vision dysfunction and vertical heterophoria that standard exams miss. This comprehensive assessment helps create personalized treatment plans using prismatic lenses to realign vision and alleviate chronic symptoms.
Prism Glasses
Custom prism glasses correct eye misalignment by redirecting light to properly coordinate visual input. These specialized lenses alleviate symptoms like double vision and headaches by helping the brain process images correctly. Our optometrists precisely calibrate prism strength for each patient's unique visual needs.
Binocular Vision Dysfunction
We diagnose and treat binocular vision dysfunction through targeted interventions. Our approach combines neuro-visual evaluations with prismatic correction to address eye muscle coordination issues. This treatment improves quality of life for patients experiencing chronic symptoms from undiagnosed visual misalignment.
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye exams assess overall ocular health and detect conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. Using advanced diagnostic technology, we evaluate visual acuity, eye coordination, and internal eye structures. These exams ensure early detection of both vision problems and systemic health issues.
Pediatric Eye Care
Specialized pediatric eye exams ensure proper visual development in children. Our gentle approach assesses eye health, coordination, and focusing ability. Early detection of vision problems prevents learning difficulties and supports academic success through comprehensive children's vision care.

Questions
What is binocular vision dysfunction?
BVD occurs when eye muscles aren't perfectly aligned, causing the brain to work harder to create single vision. This leads to symptoms like headaches, dizziness, and reading difficulties that often go undiagnosed in standard eye exams.
How do prism glasses work?
Prism glasses redirect light entering the eyes to correct misalignment. By bending light rays before they reach the retina, they help the brain process images correctly, reducing symptoms like double vision and headaches.
What happens during a neurovisual evaluation?
The evaluation assesses eye muscle coordination and alignment using specialized diagnostic tools. It includes testing for binocular vision dysfunction, vertical heterophoria, and other visual processing issues that standard exams typically miss.
Can children benefit from neurovisual optometry?
Yes, early detection of vision issues through neurovisual evaluations can prevent learning difficulties. We specialize in pediatric exams that assess eye coordination and focusing ability to support children's academic development.
How long does treatment take?
Treatment duration varies by individual needs. Many patients experience symptom improvement within weeks of receiving prismatic lenses, with ongoing follow-ups to ensure optimal visual alignment and comfort.
