Dizziness While Driving

Stay Safe Behind the Wheel with a Vision & Eye Health Evaluation

Dizziness While Driving: Don’t Ignore the Signs. At Clearview Family Eyecare, we specialize in helping patients uncover the cause of dizziness and restore their confidence and comfort behind the wheel.

Why choose us?

If you’ve ever felt dizzy, disoriented, or lightheaded while driving — even just for a moment — you know how unsettling and dangerous it can be. Dizziness while driving is more than just a passing symptom. It can signal underlying vision issues, eye coordination problems, or systemic health concerns that need attention.

Common Causes of Dizziness While Driving

Many patients are surprised to learn that vision plays a key role in balance and motion perception. Here are some of the most common vision-related causes of dizziness while driving:

 

  • Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD) – Difficulty with eye teaming and focus that can cause disorientation
  • Vestibular-Ocular Imbalance – A disconnect between your visual system and your inner ear’s balance system
  • Eye Strain & Fatigue – Extended focus or poor vision correction can trigger dizziness
  • Uncorrected Refractive Errors – Even slight changes in your prescription can affect spatial orientation
  • Convergence Insufficiency – Trouble focusing on near objects or switching between near and far vision
  • Post-concussion Visual Syndrome – Persistent dizziness after a head injury or accident

Don’t Risk It — Let’s Find the Cause

If you’re experiencing dizziness while driving — even occasionally — don’t wait. Schedule a thorough vision evaluation at Clearview Family Eyecare.
