Found a great post on binocular vision dysfunction: https://helloamh.com/binocular-vision-dysfunction-vertical-heterophoria-and-prism-glasses/

Note for this person, they prism glasses AND neck chiropractic care: https://www.healio.com/news/optometry/20150514/j722_2005_12_news_print_2

Dr. Debby suspected an underlying neck condition and urged me to have my neck checked. I met a chiropractor who specialized in the upper neck, who confirmed I had a severe neck misalignment. A month after being under chiropractic care and having my neck back in proper alignment, my eyes were reevaluated. It was determined that my vertical misalignment had resolved and all I had left was the smallest amount of horizontal misalignment possible. There was a direct correlation between the misalignment of my neck and the misalignment of my eyes.

There's also a Facebook group for BVD here.

Just got the Neurolens. I've worn them for a few hours, and they seem to be making things worse on a good setup. I guess I need some more time to adjust to them.

    Yup, this was my experience as well. I wouldn't worry about it, it took me literally like 2-3 weeks before they started to make my eyes feel better. Please do let us know if you notice any improvements w/ flickering screens though 😃

      I have used Neurolens for over a month. It's not working.

      I now have strong medial rectus pain which is not getting better. I can't look at anything close without triggering this pain. A very bad situation. I don't believe that Neurolens is the cause, as I was pushing through work, but it certainly didn't prevent this serious setback in my vision.

      I still believe I have BVD, but Neurolens is not my cure.

      Angetastic What's your diagnosis? Neurolens is very expensive, but the company itself offers a refund it it doesn't work; ask your doctor if they will do the same. If you get your money back, it's worth a try.

      Neurolens is for convergence insufficiency / vertical heterophoria. Do you have either of those?

      Vision Therapy for convergence insufficiency is effective; lookup the Convergence Insufficiency Treatment Trial (CITT).

          ryans yes my diagnosis is convergence insufficiency and deficient saccadic eye movements. I can afford the neurolens, but then wouldn't that work against the vision therapy? They want me to do both. For neurolens I'd be a 1.4 BI.

            Angetastic I did "orthoptic therapy" where the sole devise was prism lenses. It did not help at all in resolving my pain symptoms. 🙁

                laur5446 I have been reading Clinical Management of Binocular Vision: Heterophoric, Accommodative, and Eye Movement Disorders Third by Dr Mitchell Scheiman.

                Therapy with just prism isn't a good therapy program, there is a LOT more.
