Binocular Vision

Binocular vision is the ability to comfortably use your eyes together. When your eyes don’t work well together you may experience symptoms of double vision, eye strain, headaches, blurred vision, and eye fatigue. Regular eye exams are a great way to detect binocular vision problems. These problems are often treatable through specialized glasses or vision therapy.
