Three years ago I suffered a bout of dizziness while driving across a bridge. I felt so disoriented that I had to pull off the road. The dizziness got progressively worse over time. I went to many doctors who could not find the cause of my symptoms. I couldn’t drive, function, or work. I never thought my eye alignment could be the cause of these problems. After my first set of prism glasses my dizziness started to decrease. I can now work, drive, and enjoy my life again.

    Hi M. K.
    My name is CK and I am thinking of making an appointment to see the doctor next month. I experienced dizziness while driving many years ago and basically suffered an ear infection which caused vertigo. This was many years ago, as a result I have been unable to drive on the highway and limit myself to short trips. I saw many doctors over the years and never had any improvement. I was wondering if you are back to feeling 100 percent driving. Did your confidence return after driving with these new glasses. I tried prism glasses years ago but they never really helped. Do the doctor prescribe eye excercises?
    I am 47 years old and would like to a better quality of life.

    • Hi Kevin,
      This is the Neuro Visual Center. Our patients who gave testimonials to not have access to reply to comments. Most patients feel on average 80% better with the aligning lenses. Typically people whose dizziness is fully visual, wind up feeling close to 100% normal when done with treatment. If there is also a documented damaged vestibular system, the person may not get complete relief. For example, vestibular testing showed a significant vestibular hypofunction, that person would experience total symptom relief.

    Hello, unfortunately I live in Europe and its pretty hard to find a doctor or optometrist here who has experience with vertical Heterophoria or other forms of BVD. Thanks to your site I asked my optometrist to test for a vertical misalignment and he really ended up finding one. Thanks a lot for that.
    How long does it take your patients on average for the dizziness to disappear? Granted it is fully visional.
