Your Headaches can be caused by your Eyes

Updated: Jan 4



Headaches can have a variety of causes, and binocular vision dysfunction is just one potential factor. Some people may experience headaches as a result of eye strain or vision problems, such as uncorrected nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. If you're experiencing headaches while wearing adequate corrective glasses, then there may be other potential causes. Other potential causes of headaches related to binocular vision dysfunctions include:


1. Convergence insufficiency: This is a condition in which the eyes have difficulty working together to focus on close objects, resulting in eyestrain and headaches.

2. Exophoria: This is a condition in which the eyes tend to turn outward, which can cause eyestrain and headaches.

3. Esophoria: This is a condition in which the eyes tend to turn inward, which can also cause eyestrain and headaches.

4. Vertical heterophoria: This is a condition in which the eyes are misaligned vertically, which can cause discomfort and headaches.

5. Horizontal heterophoria: This is a condition in which the eyes are misaligned horizontally, which can also cause discomfort and headaches.

6. Convergence excess: This is a condition in which the eyes have an exaggerated inward turn, which can cause eyestrain and headaches.

7. Divergence excess: This is a condition in which the eyes have an exaggerated outward turn, which can also cause eyestrain and headaches.

8. Accommodative dysfunction: This is a condition in which the eyes have difficulty focusing on objects at different distances, which can cause eyestrain and headaches.

9. Amblyopia: This is a condition in which one eye has poor vision due to a misalignment of the eyes, which can cause eyestrain and headaches.

It's important to note that these are just a few examples of potential causes of headaches related to eye misalignment and binocular vision dysfunctions, and there may be other factors at play as well. If you are experiencing frequent or severe headaches, it's important to see a binocular vision specialist for a proper diagnosis and treatment.


If you are experiencing visual symptoms that are causing difficulty in daily life, it is important to see an optometrist that has experience with diagnosing binocular vision dysfunctions and feels comfortable with prescribing prism glasses or personalized vision therapy.
