What is Eye Misalignment: 8 Signs Your Eyes Could Be Misaligned?

Updated: Jul 14, 2024

Our eyes naturally point slightly outward rather than straight ahead.. Binocular vision is the ability to use both eyes together to create a single, cohesive image. This process involves the coordination of various muscles, nerves, and parts of the brain. When our eyes work in harmony and are in alignment, they provide us with depth perception, a wide field of view, and a three-dimensional understanding of the world around us.


The Importance of Binocular Vision

Healthy binocular vision is crucial for many daily activities such as reading, driving, and playing sports. It allows us to judge distances accurately, move through space confidently, and perform tasks that require fine motor skills.


Signs and Symptoms of Binocular Vision Problems


Double vision

1. Double Vision (Diplopia)

Seeing double images is a clear indication that the eyes are not aligning properly. This can occur constantly or intermittently and can be very disorienting.

Tired after reading

2. Eye Strain and Fatigue

Individuals with binocular vision issues often experience significant eye strain, especially after reading or doing close-up work. This discomfort can lead to headaches and a general sense of fatigue.

3. Difficulty Reading

Reading difficulties can manifest as losing one's place on the page, needing to use a finger to keep track, or experiencing blurry vision when switching focus from near to far objects.

Difficulty seeing to drive at night

4. Poor Depth Perception

Problems with depth perception can make it hard to judge distances accurately. This can affect everyday activities like pouring a drink, driving, or catching a ball.


Squinting to see phone better

5. Frequent Squinting or Closing One Eye

To compensate for double vision or blurred images, some individuals might frequently squint or close one eye, especially when trying to focus on something specific.


Dizziness with headache

6. Headaches and Dizziness

Constant effort to align the eyes properly can lead to persistent headaches and even dizziness or nausea, especially after visual tasks that require intense focus.


Tired eyes after computer work

7. Difficulty with Computer or Screen Use

Extended screen time can exacerbate symptoms, leading to increased discomfort, blurred vision, or a sensation of the eyes not working together.


Neck pain after computer

8. Neck pain

In some cases, individuals with binocular vision problems may experience neck pain. This can result from the constant adjustment of head position to compensate for misaligned vision along with irritation to the trigeminal nerve, leading to strain and discomfort in the neck muscles.
