Rating: 4.9 (1987 reviews)

Clear vision depends on more than just seeing 20/20. Binocular vision and vision therapy focus on how the eyes work together, helping improve visual comfort, coordination, and overall visual performance.

Helping Your Eyes Work Together More Efficiently

For comfortable, functional vision, both eyes must work together as a coordinated team. When this coordination is disrupted, it can lead to symptoms such as eye strain, headaches, blurred vision, or difficulty focusing during reading or screen use. Binocular vision testing and vision therapy help identify and treat these issues. At Richlin Eye, we provide personalized evaluations and vision therapy in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills for patients who experience visual coordination difficulties.

What Is Binocular Vision Dysfunction?

Binocular vision is the ability of both eyes to work together as a synchronized team. This precise coordination allows your brain to merge images from each eye into a single, three-dimensional view, supporting depth perception, visual stability, and comfortable reading.

Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD) occurs when this synchronization fails. Even a slight misalignment forces the eye muscles to constantly struggle to correct the view, leading to chronic strain. These challenges often make everyday tasks, such as reading, driving, or working on a computer, difficult or even painful.

What Is Vision Therapy?

Vision therapy is a customized program of exercises and activities designed to improve how the eyes and brain work together. The therapy may involve guided in-office sessions, at-home exercises, or a combination of both.

These exercises help strengthen visual skills such as eye tracking, focusing, eye teaming, and visual processing. Over time, vision therapy can help patients develop more efficient visual coordination and reduce symptoms related to binocular vision problems.
