What is Vertical Heterophoria? - Dr. Cheryl Berger Israeloff

[@day6atemywallet78]

FINALLY something. I have been experiencing this and I literally thought I was going crazy 😭

[@lindaschatz8154]

I went to Dr. Cheryl and she was amazing. I've been diagnosed and fitted for my new prism lenses. This is a miracle.... Thank you!!!!

[@Johnnydoe33]

Linda Schatz how much are the glasses? Are they more than your average pair for poor vision?

[@tomtomson648]

They tend to be a little more expensive maybe around 40$ per glass.

[@knoxieman]

Thank you so much for this video, this is exactly my problem I thought I was going mad.

[@Biglover29]

Holy cow, I wonder if this is what I have?! I hope my optometrist can check to see if I have it.

[@rblightchild]

did you get it checked out? what did you find out? hope your fellin better

[@Biglover29]

@@rblightchild Thanks. Actually no I haven't. I was waiting for my annual appointment cause my insurrance might not pay for it if I just make an appointment myself. So I waited and waited, finally I called them and to ask when is my next appointment cause it seemed like it was way over due and they said actually looks like I was due for one. *eye roll* So I've got one for July 6. I think they've been spacing their appointments out because of you know what. ugh.

[@johnnydel6050]

I have all of this for 10 years now

[@mario312]

is this different than a astigmatism, that's the only thing dr been able to come up with, but been down the ENT, various DR rabbit hole and have come up empty. Just some weird imbalance that I can't seem to find the cause. Worse in big open spaces or if there is too much stimuli. Now it's getting worse when I'm trying to work in front of the computer.

[@GraffitiKitty1]

I have pain around/behind just one of my eyes and have just recently for the first time EVER have had sensations of dizziness where the room spins. Am I a candidate?

[@LeesReviews69]

I've done my research and I'm pretty sure this is what I have. My dad had it. I'm about to visit an ophthalmologist who is working with a beta program called Vivid Vision. I hope that my eye muscles can be trained to rest at normal gazes with enough training. I don't want to go back to glasses as I had lasiks performed a year ago. I want to fix the problem.

[@theneurovisualcenterofnewy882]

Not sure what Vivid vision is. The vertical eye muscles do not respond to training. All the best.

[@LeesReviews69]

+The Neuro Visual Center of New York It's using virtual reality goggles to strengthen a less dominate eye by increasing the contrast in the weak eye and decreasing it in the other, and then playing games that use both eyes and your hands. but I don't know if my case will work. His name is James Blaha and he is doing incredible things with his company Vivid Vision. He's sent out his software to about 20 opthamologists around the country. I have an appointment next week with one of the trial testers to see what can be done in any case. I'm pretty sure I have incombiant exophoria with fusion loss in the up temporal gaze? anyway, I hope to no need prisms but I may need them. thanks for responding

[@1957Maureen1]

Addendum : Is there ANYTHING I can do to curb the symptoms until I find a way to get tested? ? PLEASE!

[@tomtomson648]

You can cover one eye with an eye patch, that disrupts binocular vision and thus the eyes no longer have to correct the misalignment. Depending on how bad your symptoms are, it can give you a relief in a few minutes, hours or days. If your symptoms are really bad, it may be because your eyes are not used to relax anymore so it takes a few days to make them learn how to relax. But seeing with only one eye can also cause certain difficulties.

[@AL-ru3nk]

Do the glasses correct the vision so you dont need them anymore or do they have to be worn all day every day forever?

[@theneurovisualcenterofnewy882]

Typically the patient wears them continuously.

[@AL-ru3nk]

@@theneurovisualcenterofnewy882 oh ok so as soon as they take the glasses off the dizziness and balance issues come back.

[@theneurovisualcenterofnewy882]

This is to Vicky Lim. I can not seem to reply directly. It seems that you are not a patient at the Neuro Visual Center as we do not have any record of you. I am sorry that you had a bad experience with one of our colleagues but we are all independent practices. I invite you to call us to discuss your case. We would like to be of any help that we can.

Hello Dr. Cheryl, I have been dealing with pressure / tension like headaches top of my head, behind my eye and where neck meets skull. After multiple MRI and CT Scans read as normal (thankfully) I usually only find relief when I am laying down. Driving since to be when I feel worst. I live in Indiana would you be so kind dear Dr. to advice where I can go? Thank you greatly ma’am.

Hi Nick, you may have BVD. I can not say for certain without an exam. Yes a small difference in the height of the eyes can cause this.

Hi, I would love to ask a question about this that is no where to be seen on the internet. Can this develop from reading things on a smart phone lying down sideways? I do this every morning and night and recently my right eye feels like it’s struggling and things appear to shake (heatwaves) in the distance

Dear Dr. Cheryl, I am 30 years old. I have esophoria. I got my new glasses a week ago, but the lenses are misaligned, because there was a mistake with cutting the lenses, they ordered the new one, but gave me the glasses to wear them until getting the new one. Is prism effect is okay in this situation or can it be difference? Thank you for your answear! Eszter

[@theneurovisualcenterofnewy882]

The prism may be different if the lenses are cut wrong.

My husband fell and hit his head, went to the ER but they said he was fine. He says his eyes feel misaligne. Would something like these be it??

Yes it could very well be a problem with the way the two eyes are working together. This is common after a concussion.

Hi Jimmy, We are located in New York. We are all independent doctors who treat Vertical Heterophoria that are members of the Neuro Visual Medicine Society. Unfortunately there is not a doctor in MO. The examination is very extensive and is needed to make the diagnosis and treatment plan for each patient. Without a Neuro visual examination we can not even determine if this is your problem.
