What is Vertical heterophoria (VH)?

Vertical heterophoria (VH) is a type of binocular vision disorder that occurs when the eyes are misaligned and can lead to a number of symptoms you may not immediately connect with your eyes. This misalignment, which can be very small, leads to the straining and overuse of the eye muscles. This leads to the symptoms of BVD such as headaches and dizziness. Patients are often misdiagnosed as having vertigo and migraine disorder.

If you’ve been feeling off-balance both mentally and physically, the issue might not be the food you eat, the hours you work or your day-to-day habits; the root of your problem could extend to your eyes. Dr. Cheryl Berger Israeloff of the Neuro Visual Center of New York not only specializes in diagnosing VH and other binocular vision disorders, but in treating them as well.[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.7″ header_3_font=”|700||on|||||” header_3_text_color=”#000000″]

Common Symptoms of VH

Your VH symptoms can come in waves throughout the day, leading you to feel 100 percent one moment and as if you’ve been locked in a centrifuge the next. Your headaches and dizziness can be brought on by:

Shoulder, Head and Neck Pain Symptoms

Unfortunately, the above symptoms aren’t the only ones linked to VH. Additional indications that you might have a binocular vision disorder include headaches pounding at your temples, forehead, or at the back of your head. These headaches can vary in both intensity and general location. You could also experience pain whenever you move your eyes.

Additionally, those with VH often report experiencing pressure or a sensation of heaviness at the crown of their heads. This pressure can be compared to sinus pain and can also throb its way down to your jaw region. Reports also include aching in your neck and shoulders due to a head tilt. This head tilt can be frequently quite obvious.

Driving and Anxiety

Many patients with binocular vision dysfunction such as VH experience problems while driving or have anxiety in the car. Specifically, you may experience the following while behind the wheel:

Other indications associated with the anxiety triggered by VH are:
