What is Binocular Vision?
Binocular vision is something all human beings have, and it’s one of the most common things that can go wrong with our vision. Binocular vision problems come with a variety of symptoms and can have serious effects, but they can also be treated. Microprism Optics is a leading binocular vision provider in Melbourne, here to teach you all you need to know about binocular vision.
Binocular vision is held by animals with two eyes capable of facing in the same direction, including human beings. Using two eyes at once allows us to perceive a single three-dimensional image of our surroundings instead of two eyes producing separate images, because of an overlap between the scene perceived by two eyes. That’s why there is no gap in the middle of our vision! When you have ideally functioning binocular vision your eyes are perfectly aligned and completely synched with each other, so they send one focused picture to your brain. But sometimes, this isn’t the case.
What are the Symptoms of Binocular Vision
There are lots of problems associated with binocular vision. Binocular Vision Dysfunction is one of the most common vision problems we get. This happens when our eyes are not coordinated and synched enough, resulting in two images being transmitted to the brain. Because the eyes are in different positions, the images are slightly different. The brain then tries to realign our eyes, which is only temporary and again ends up with misalignment, leading the brain to try to realign again. It’s an endless cycle. Some binocular vision disorders include esotropia and exotropia (cross-eyed or wall-eyed), convergence insufficiency (double vision), refractive (near- or farsightedness in one or both eyes) and strabismic (misalignment of the eyes).
There are lots of disorders and symptoms included under the more general term of Binocular Vision Dysfunction. These issues can lead to difficulties with driving, reading and sleeping and have a negative impact on your life. Symptoms can vary in severity, but a lot of people with binocular vision dysfunction experience anxiety and frustrations regarding their everyday difficulties. Symptoms of Binocular Vision Dysfunction include:
- Strained eye muscles
- Tired and sore eyes
- Headaches
- Facial pain
- Double vision
- Blurred vision
- Dizziness
- Motion sickness
- Light sensitivity
- Poor depth perception
Binocular Vision Training is Used to Treat Binocular Vision Problems
You’ll be pleased to know that there are treatments for all these issues. While binocular vision disorders are often misdiagnosed, finding the right professional and getting the correct diagnosis will allow you to get access to a variety of treatments. Binocular vision training is a common method of treating amblyopia, which includes refractive and strabismic issues, also known as lazy eye. Other methods of binocular vision treatment include micro-prism lenses, which are regular eyeglass lenses infused with ground prism, or a pair of reading glasses. There’s a wide range of treatment options available that can help reduce your symptoms and vastly improve your vision.

We take a unique approach to vision and eye health by holistically and dynamically assessing vision, mind and body as a complete unit, working on conscious and subconscious levels.
Our unique methodology, Quantum (Energy) Photo (Light) Somatics (Body Movement) (QPS) has been developed by Dr Michael Christian. QPS supports Optometry and is an endorsed and accredited field with the IICT (International Institute of Complementary Therapies) myiict.com.
It engages a real time integrative feedback system of many factors, making adjustments, counter checks and further adjustments through the process.
Light uniquely and appropriately refracted through lens and prism combinations support and change factors such as breath, posture, balance, muscles, energy, nerves, emotions, movement and body functions, which in turn aims to positively affect the eyes and vision.
Once we understand the wearers profile, we prescribe balanced, highly customised, activating lens and prism prescriptions. These lenses aim to change the way the wearers eye muscles work while supporting how the brain processes visual information.
Just as you work out your body with weights and movement, the glasses we prescribe act as a personal trainer for your eyes that are designed to work just by wearing them, without the hassle of boring and limited time-consuming eye exercises.
The lenses aim to also encourage improvement of health conditions that are linked to, being caused by or exacerbated by poor vision, while aiming to avoid the usual deterioration of vision commonly experienced by long-term glasses wearers. The eyes affect the mind and body, and the mind and body affect the eyes.Both need optimal support. These links and relationships are thoroughly investigated in depth for each person.
Just as good air, food and water provides integral fuel for the body, good light, presented correctly, provides integral fuel for vision and mind.
The function of your eyes has a flow on effect to the rest of your mind and body. Just as changing any nerve or muscle group in the body does.
Microprism integrative prescriptions are derived by focusing two eyes together in specific binocular refractive patterns for clear perspective and detail discrimination. In Microprism progressive lens manufacturing, the prism is located in unique non-traditional active locations to ensure clear, open, comfortable and dynamic vision. Microprism directional prisms (up, down, in and out summations) are located differently and affect eye muscles, changing eye shape and location and the perception of objects within a space. The internal shift on eye muscles via the incoming prism re-directed light, effects and brings into alignment and balance, how near, distance and perspective are observed. This ideal state of alignment brings ease to the optical, motor and sensory system and has a positive flow on effect to the rest of the body. Light feeds the whole biophotonic transduction system of the body.
