20/20 Isn’t Everything



Many children and adults have 20/20 vision but still suffer visual symptoms due to binocular vision problems. A binocular vision problem in general defines the inability for the eyes to work together in a coordinated manner. This can lead to symptoms of eye strain/fatigue, double vision, headaches and blurred vision with near tasks. 

At the Airdrie Eyecare Centre, our doctors can diagnose and treat most binocular vision problems. We offer our patients a computer-based vision therapy program that allows our patients the ability to complete their vision training exercises in the comfort of their own home during their free time. Upon successful completion of the program, your eyes will function comfortably as a team and your symptoms will be eliminated or significantly reduced. 

Here is a interesting video of how these binocular vision problems can affect the learning process.



If you suffer from any of the mentioned symptoms you may have a binocular vision condition. Please contact the office to book an appointment with one of our doctors for more information to see if this program is right for you. (403) 912-0999.
