Have you ever felt dizzy and anxious when driving or riding in a car? If so, you could be experiencing one of the many symptoms of vertical heterophoria (VH), a binocular vision dysfunction caused by a misalignment of the eyes. This misalignment is typically the result of a head injury, but it can also occur when one eye is physically set a little higher than the other, causing the eyes to see images at slightly different levels. How the Brain Responds to VH The brain isn…
How We Help Patients Overcome Dizziness While Driving
I was never happy with my vision. I always felt things didn’t look quite right. Everyday, I would suffer from eyestrain and tension at my temples. I went to many eye doctors and they all said my eyes were fine. At a routine eye appointment with Dr. Cheryl, I complained about these feelings of strain and eye pain. She asked tons of questions and did the most detailed eye exam that I ever had. She not only tested my vision in each eye but she tested how my two eyes worked together. My problems wer… Read more

My family would always tease me about how clumsy I was. I couldn’t even walk in a straight line. This got worse as I got older until I tripped and fell in the subway. I became so nervous to go out because I couldn’t walk straight or judge how to step off a curb. I consulted many doctors who diagnosed me with anxiety disorder. I really didn’t think I had anxiety disorder at all. I was anxious because I was afraid I was going to fall due to my poor depth perception. I learned about Dr. Debby Feinb… Read more

I never really had headaches before this year, but my balance felt off, I felt crooked. We went to a lot of doctors until my pediatrician said to go to the eye doctor. I suffered academically and socially because the headaches started to get worse and they were constant. They rarely let up. The morning was the worst, I was nauseous every morning. This went on for three months until I came to Dr. Israeloff. We never thought it was my eyes because my eyesight was always fine! What a wonderful s… Read more

Prior to being treated by Dr. Cheryl, I constantly felt off balance. I had suffered from frequent migraines since I was 12 years old. I often suffered from neck/ back pain, and always felt like I was straining my neck and/or tilting my head to focus on the computer. My family had always noticed that I walked a bit sideways as well, but they attributed that to me being “clumsy”. I had awful anxiety about walking down flights of stairs or through the mall, as I always had this irrational fear of f… Read more

For years I have suffered from migraines and more recently severe neck pain. Dr. Cheryl took one look at me and knew what was wrong. She explained that my neck pain was due to tilting my head to compensate fro my vision deficits. Tilting my head was a way to stabilize my vision but it was taxing my body. She asked me a variety of questions, which ranged from when I experience pain to how I feel in crowds. I would have never known that all of my anxieties in crowded places and my inability to wal… Read more

Who, indeed, could have supposed that a mere ocular defect could have given rise to so serious a train of evils….And who that had not seen it, could believe that the correction by glasses of the eye trouble could have given a relief so speedy and so perfect that the patient described it as a miracle?

Unfortunately, I have been suffering from migraines since I was 7 years old. I spent countless hours in doctors’ offices trying to resolve this issue but was left unrewarded. I started wearing glasses when I was in elementary school but they did not relieve my headaches. Being an active child, I found that these headaches hindered my ability to participate in certain activities. As the years went on the headaches became more frequent and debilitating, leaving me with symptoms of nausea, vomiting… Read more
