Vision Specialists of Michigan

Specializing in the Optometric Treatment of Dizziness, Headaches, Neck Ache and Anxiety

Do You Suffer From Dizziness, Headaches, Neck Ache and / or Anxiety?

Have you seen numerous Doctors, had multiple tests, tried many different medications & treatments, without much relief?

This may be the solution you have been seeking

The doctors at Vision Specialists of Michigan have made pioneering discoveries into the diagnosis and treatment of Vertical Heterophoria, an uncommonly recognized and poorly understood eye misalignment condition. Those who suffer from Vertical Heterophoria tend to have a small amount of vertical eye misalignment, which the brain corrects by directing the eye muscles to properly reposition the eyes. However, using the eye muscles in this manner overworks them and they become strained and fatigued, causing the many symptoms of Vertical Heterophoria:

  • Dizziness
  • Lightheadedness
  • Nausea
  • Unsteadiness / Drifting while walking
  • Poor Coordination / Clumsy
  • Poor Depth Perception
  • Motion Sickness
  • Headaches / Face Pain
  • Eye Pain / Pain with Eye Movement
  • Neck Ache / Upper Back & Shoulder Pain
  • Head Tilt
  • Anxiety
  • Feeling Overwhelmed or Anxious in Crowds or Large Spaces
  • Sensitivity to Light / Glare
  • Double Vision
  • Shadowed / Overlapping / Blurred Vision
  • Difficulty with Reading & Reading Comprehension
  • Skipping Lines / Losing your Place while Reading
  • Fatigue with Reading
  • Closing / Covering an eye to make it easier to see

The severity and number of symptoms vary from person to person - some people are much more affected than others.

Most patients experience a marked reduction in their symptoms with precise prismatic correction

The doctors at Vision Specialists of Michigan have developed a very detailed and specialized Neurovisual Evaluation, which allows for the accurate diagnosis and treatment of Vertical Heterophoria. Using realigning prismatic spectacle lenses, the strain and fatigue within the visual system is reduced or eliminated. Patients notice significant improvement in their symptoms during their first office visit. Improvement continues over the course of several visits as the prismatic prescription is fine-tuned and customized for the individual.

How do I know if I should be evaluated for Vertical Heterophoria?

A specialized Questionnaire has been developed by the researchers at Vision Specialists of Michigan to identify those who might be suffering from Vertical Heterophoria. Fill in the Questionnaire and find out if you might benefit from an evaluation at Vision Specialists of Michigan.
