I’ve recently developed symptoms, travelling once a month on the same highway to visit my mum 3 hours away. Depending on the speed limit, I travel between 50mph and 70mph (UK). The symptoms start in the same location each time - once I’m on the highway. It hardly ever happens when I’m driving in residential areas. My symptoms are my eyes feeling like they are rolling back in my head and THE CAR IS MOVING BACKWARDS, the sudden feeling like I am going to pass out and lose control of the car. Sometimes my right arm goes into a numb / tingling sensation. I do believe there is some form of panic as it feels exceptionally scary. I’ve thought it was stress or blood pressure even, however my BP was 100% when I tested it immediately the last experience. I have not been to the doctors yet as I’ve not been confident that the NHS will have any clue with the current health crisis. I’m so relieved to read the below comments as now I have some direction as to which specialist advice to seek. I have recently had a sharp decline in my eyesight and a couple of head concussions, so I am convinced it is my eyes.
I’ve had symptoms of spacey/lightheadedness/ woozy, but no vertigo room spinning. Always my eyes are involved in these episodes/ events and feel disconnected from my brain. I can see fine, it just feels off, and I have to really focus to focus. I had an MRI in march, totally clear, all bloodwork is perfect. Met with ENT who said no sinus issues, go see neurology. Neurology says tension/ migraines and/ or occipital neuralgia. Taking supplements and doing PT for neck. Headaches are gone but spacey/fuzzy head remains and comes and goes. Just realizing maybe I need to attack this from the eyes first. All my symptoms sure sound like BVD so I’m calling the eye doctor tomorrow.
Do the prism lense help after a stroke for driving
my OCD has been telling me i have a brain tumour haha…. thank god i have found out about BVD. the detachment/feeling disconnected from my vision/feeling like im in a movie almost has been awful, it is so frightening. along with the physical symptoms of BVD.
Yes!!! Its like a detachment from your vision. You can see, but it feels off, like things don’t come all together and you have to really focus to focus!! I have the same thing.
Can you see foreground and background with prisms for double vision
Yes you can
Recently diagnosed with bd. So many years wasted
You are a life saver and this medicine of neuro-visual glasses developed by dr debbie from vision specialists of michigan. Anybody experiencing these symptoms pls go to their website and find nearest practitioner of neuro-visual medicine in USA. Indians even top Indian eye hospitals can treat this like LV prasad,sankara nethralaya and many more.
Same bro I was diagnosed with OCD and general anxiety and even depression but it was just slight vertical misalignment in eye that causes anxiety,fatigue and dizziness but non of Indian doctors did all tests and even if they did they did not prescribe any treatment calling it too little misalignment,shouldn't cause any symptoms. They need to educate themselves. This is real crime cuz I have suffered for 4 years with all this.
I am from India and I really pray that Indian doctors please educate yourself about these problems and take the symptoms of the patient seriously,it's been 4 years I have been experiencing anxiety,dizziness,headache,fatigue and all doctors told that everything was fine. Please atleast the squint specialist please educate yourself and give proper treatment to patients regarding this.
Anxiety is in the head. Eyes and ears are in our heads.
A new approach.
Are you familiar with any optometrists in Morocco that perform the same neurovisual exam.
they are only in US, CA and AUS. Nowhere else. I have been researching for past 2 years

What about when you're deaf in one ear...
You can still have a binocular vision disorder.
@theneurovisualcenterofnewy882 ty for reply...I believe you, so frustrating..
@@theneurovisualcenterofnewy882 ty for your reply.
@harrybrown6570 Can BVD be reversed? How much does age have to do with it? I have been diagnosed and prisms added to my glasses by was told it can only fix up to 80-85%, is this correct? After adjustments to my glasses I still had problems and was told that my problems was between my ears. I was a firefighter for 30 years and I know what real fears are and are not. I was fearless and now i cannot drive on interstates or over high rise bridges. Is there any information you can share, as I was told I was off the charts after being tested and now they are telling me it is between my ears. What an insult given what kind of career i had and the emergency medical training I performed as well. Thank you for a response in advance. God bless. Reply
Hi Harry. Please make sure that you are seeing a Neuro Visual Medicine Doctor that is trained in the Feinberg Method. You can find the closest doctor to you on the Vision Specialist of Michigan website. Maybe something else was overlooked. All the best.
I have full on double vision but I hate prism I don't know what to do
Your other option is a frosted lens or wearing a patch. Please make sure that you are going to a doctor that has a lot of experience with prismatic correction.
OMG 😭
I had and still recovering from bvd and bppv in both ears from a concussion I was told I didn't have. I learned the hard way. This is absolutely necessary to teach every single doctor. I don't understand why physical examinations aren't exhausted before saying it's my mental health?! Especially 2020 vision exams. Those need to include bvd tests! It's criminal!

@emotionalwibes7400 I am sorry for all your pain. It's absolutely horrible being told the problem is not really a problem. It's incomprehensible. Honestly, it also could be a symtpom of other things too and when you list things you are experiencing to a doctor, its like they diagnose you as paranoid. It probably changed the course of your life for a period of time. However you found the answers and I hope you achieve all you aim for!
@@emotionalwibes7400so are you getting treated for this now?? I also been dealing with this for over 4 years and no doctor can tell me what it is I think it’s this I have all the symptoms
It's nice to listen to
I have this disorder and can no longer drive. I can't go to public places because I get insanely dizzy. Im getting prism glasses soon thank God!!
Have you gotten that glasses?
I’m very pleased to finally understand why I’ve been feeling this way! I’m a trucker and to know now what’s going on I’m am overwhelmed. This began after my seizure
I have this. Three weeks into prisms. I still have anxiety but I am not dizzy. As much. Headaches gone. Driving will scares me. I feel like I’m still slow to focus. I hope this gets better also. I take L-theanine as needed for anxiety. My doctor prescribed it. It’s 6 dollars at Walmart. I never will go without it again.
Glad that you are starting to feel better.
Yes, its coming from my eyes. I could never understand why I was uncomfortable talking to people. You have validated my life experience. It wasn't me having a social anxiety disorder. Thank you!
We are happy you are doing well.
I thought I had social anxiety too. It was my vision
Same thing happens to me I’ve gotten no response from my Dr just gives me anxiety meds .went to ent he put me on niacin 🤷🏾♀️.any information on Dr in Florida
Please contact Dr. Erin Sonneberg in Boynton Beach.
Most things get worse with age. Is this one of them?
Yes it can get worse with age.
I’m suffering from double vision due to binocular vision dysfunction, but I’ve heard that prism glasses are just a Band-Aid, that the underlying problem will still just continue to get worse and worse, so wouldn’t another option like surgery be better?
Orbital CT scan showed a thickened left eye muscle. That’s all they can really tell me so far. Still having studies done.
Many patients stay stable with their prism prescriptions.
Hi, I would love to ask a question about this that is no where to be seen on the internet. Can this develop from reading things on a smart phone lying down sideways? I do this every morning and night and recently my right eye feels like it’s struggling and things appear to shake (heatwaves) in the distance
That task just may be too difficult for your visual system.
Please just let people know that you are using a NEUROLENS machine that does all the calculation and give you glasses that correct all misalignment in your eyes. Any optometrist with the material can do it.
We do not use a Neurolens.
So what is this micro glasses look like
They look like regular glasses.
How do you deal with something like this? If you stay out of New York I stay in California which I can’t find a place around here.
Please visit the Vision Specialist of Michigan website to find a Neuro visual medicine doctor in California.
This video saved my life!!! All better now. 🤓
We are very happy that you are well.
I was wondering if your doctors are as reluctant to perform or reccomend surgeries for binocular dysfunction issues as I am getting from the eye medicine community at large. My soon-to-be first vision therapist has a glaring lazy eye from a botched surgery, even. For people who have double vision extreme enough (or fluctuant enough) that prism lenses are too hard to manufacture or unreliable, what other options are there besides an ill-advised surgical route?
Eye excercises, craniosacral work, osteopathic treatments, kinesiology, all can help over time.
A frosted lens can help. Every case is different. The options depend on many factors.
Thank you for this. Confirmation. I had an eye injury 6 mths ago, eye is fine but I totally understand what you are saying thank you.
Ever hear of this issue causing visual aura/ flashing lights in your eyes 24/7? Seems like its just crazy eye tension, have had every day all day for 10 years. If I close one eye and look at something, then open the other eye, the eyes are not focused on the same thing. Thanks
BVD would not cause flashing lights but the different focusing feeling can be caused by BVD.
I too feel this way! Already booked my appointment immediately.
Who do I see for this my doctor haven’t a clue
Please visit the Vision Specialist of Michigan website to find a trained doctor near you.
Ask your optician to refer you to a specialist department. Your GP won't have a clue (that's what my hospital told me).
What are the glasses called?
Thank you so much for this video, this is exactly my problem I thought I was going mad.
My neuro optometrist refuses to use prism unless last resort.
Well this probably explains why I feel so discombobulated when in a Walmart like store. Then my anxious head gets all these crazy danger thoughts. I def go through periods where this is worse and then not as bad. I wonder if allergies have any affect on this.
Thank you for sharing!!!
This woman is a life saver! A true hero! 🙌🏿 I got lasik and I haven't been the same since!
I got LASIK as well. Did you ever get relief or help?
@@lukehall373 yes! I got glasses with prism lenses. Now I can drive and be in overwhelming places much more comfortably. Good luck.
@@LavaLampZone oh wow that is so good to hear :) can I ask, did you ever get dizzy/sick of being in dimly lit areas like dark car parks? Sometimes indoors? I feel ok only if the sun is out it sounds weird. I also feel sick reading and watching TV? Do the glasses help with this? I'm currently doing exercises for about a year and a half but nothing has helped? Thank you :)
@@lukehall373 I would get instant fight or flight anxiety as soon as I’d start to drive or pull onto the freeway. Also in large bright areas. I was in Home Depot once and it took everything in me to hold it together from feeling as if id pass out. My best way to describe it would be “hyper visual sensory overload “. My vision was so sharp that it would hyper focus on absolutely everything and not just what’s in front of me. It was like having the vision of Spider-Man X The Matrix all at the same time. Very interesting, yet overwhelming and caused a false sense of danger from not being able to keep focus on one thing. It was almost as if my brain was yelling at my eyes to correct what was already corrected, while my eyes were saying to my brain, “why are you saying we have a problem here when I can see 20/20?” 😂 I know that sounds insane but that’s the best way I can describe it. Go see your optometrist and ask to have a prism lense exam. The moment I put them on, my eyes had never felt so relaxed! An incredible sense of calm flowed through my entire mind and body in that instant. It was an incredible relief.
is this different than a astigmatism, that's the only thing dr been able to come up with, but been down the ENT, various DR rabbit hole and have come up empty. Just some weird imbalance that I can't seem to find the cause. Worse in big open spaces or if there is too much stimuli. Now it's getting worse when I'm trying to work in front of the computer.
I am going through the same issue and there is no answer yet but I believe I have vision issue
Sir I have divergent squint eyes. Will i be able to qualify for A2 and B2 medical which have binocular vision test.
Thanks a lot for this. I've always thought that I was feeling anxious most especially when I feel dizzy going to crowded places, commuting or wandering around malls. It's really an awful experience but now that I have a clear understanding of what I'm feeling, it gave me such relief. I will make sure to always put on my glasses whenever I go places.
Thanks for sharing Rowel! Please let me know how the glasses work for you. I’m in the beginning journey. Waiting list to see a NeuroEye Specialist. 🤙🏽🌺
Do i have bvd if im driving ang freeling im gonna fall from my motorcycle,and the im starting having anxiety or oanic attck
Does it happen when you come to a stop ? Or over a bridge ?
I have similar symptoms when I drive.. but I notice it's worse going to places, as opposed to coming home. So I've assumed that dread is an element of my driving dizziness. Has anyone else experienced this (?) The fact that my dizziness is usually worse going to work, getting groceries, etc, makes me think dread influences it some, but I don't know. And it will basically disappear for months, then suddenly reappear.. is that consistent with heterophoria, or seem more like anxiety.. if anyone has insight, please advise..
I have the same going places already so much harder than coming home. I am getting prism glasses to see if they will help.
@@CC-yq9kv Good luck. Please post how the glasses work out.. (take care)
@@CC-yq9kv Did prism glasses help you?
@@glen4326unfortunately they didn’t. I tried a few pairs even they made me more dizzy
What are the more severe symptoms? Can this cause seizures and involuntary head, arm, leg movements
