Visual Vestibular Conditions

How Is Visual Vestibular Dysfunction Diagnosed?

Visual Vestibular dysfunction can cause symptoms like vertigo, dizziness, nausea, blurred vision, and imbalance. Because these symptoms overlap with sinus, neurological, or even psychological issues, many patients spend years seeking answers before getting the right diagnosis. We, at CONVERGE, specialize in understanding how visual dysfunction contributes to balance, movement, and daily performance.

During an exam, our doctor’s evaluation will integrate the visual system and the rest of the body and brain which includes:

  • Visual vestibular testing

  • Visual Stamina

  • Visual Processing Speed

  • Vision and Audtiory Processing

  • Visual Information Processing (organizing, interpreting, and remembering visual information)

  • Vision and balance

Neuro-optometric vision rehabilitation helps retrain the eye-brain connection to reduce visual problems caused by vestibular dysfunction. Studies show vision rehabilitation can reduce or resolve symptoms in over 80% of patients of all ages.

A Multidisciplinary Approach

Because vestibular dysfunction affects multiple systems, treatment often involves a team of specialists, which may include:

  • Neuro-optometrists

  • Neurologists

  • Naturopaths

  • Rehabilitation physicians

  • Physical and occupational therapists

  • Speech-language pathologists

  • Neuropsychologists

  • Chiropractors

  • Functional Neurologists

  • Audiologists

Together, these experts help patients restore balance, clarity, and confidence in daily life.
