What Is Binocular Vision Disorder (BVD)?

Binocular vision disorder is a condition when the eyes don't work together as an efficient team. They may be misaligned or do not move together properly and efficiently. It can result in double vision, blurred vision, and difficulty focusing on objects near and far away. Some of the common signs of BVD include crossed eyes, one image is larger than the other. Eyes may seem to be “off-track” when looking at objects.

Signs and Symptoms of BVD

The signs and symptoms of binocular vision disorder can vary from person to person. Common signs and symptoms include:

• Double vision or blurring of near or distant objects
• Poor depth perception
• Eyestrain when looking at something for a long period
• Difficulty reading, writing, or performing tasks that require focusing on an object
• An inability to track the movement of objects
• Tilting, turning, or moving the head to maintain clear vision
