About Eye Movement Abnormality

Eye movement abnormality is not a single procedure but a diagnostic assessment performed by an ophthalmologist to evaluate conditions affecting the control and coordination of eye movements. This comprehensive evaluation involves a series of clinical tests to analyze how the eyes track objects, move between points (saccades), converge for near vision, and maintain alignment. The specialist assesses for conditions like strabismus (misalignment), nystagmus (involuntary shaking), or gaze palsies. The goal is to diagnose underlying neurological, muscular, or congenital disorders affecting the visual system. This assessment is crucial for determining the cause of symptoms like double vision, blurred vision, dizziness, or reading difficulties, and forms the basis for creating an effective treatment plan, which may include vision therapy, prisms, medication, or in some cases, surgery.

PATIENT REVIEW

Sai Chopra, a 42-year-old software architect...

Sai Chopra, a 42-year-old software architect and father of two, had always been proud of his sharp focus and attention to detail. Over the past year, he began experiencing debilitating double vision and headaches after long hours at his computer. Reading code became a struggle as lines of text would blur and swim. His wife noticed his eyes sometimes appeared misaligned. An ophthalmologist diagnosed him with a convergence insufficiency, an eye movement abnormality where his eyes failed to turn inward properly for near tasks. The doctor recommended a course of vision therapy, a non-invasive program of in-office and at-home exercises to retrain his eye muscles and brain coordination. Sai was initially skeptical, finding the pencil push-ups and Brock string exercises tedious. However, after 12 weeks of diligent therapy, his double vision resolved. He could read and work on screens without pain. Emotionally, he moved from frustration and fear of losing his career to profound relief and regained confidence, feeling like he had reclaimed a fundamental part of his identity.
