Binocular Vision Care in Novi, MI

If you feel dizzy, disoriented, or like the words on a page won’t stay still, the issue may not be your glasses—it may be how your eyes are working together. Binocular vision is how both eyes team up to create a single, clear image. When that system breaks down, even basic tasks like reading, walking, or watching TV can become exhausting.

At our low vision clinic in Novi, Dr. Jacobi helps patients identify and manage binocular vision issues. As a trusted low vision specialist with decades of experience, he takes the time to understand how your vision challenges are affecting your life and offers real solutions.

What Is Binocular Vision Dysfunction?  

Binocular vision refers to how your eyes work together to form a single image. When that system breaks down, often due to aging, neurological conditions, or visual stress, it’s called binocular vision dysfunction. Symptoms may include double vision, headaches, eye strain, poor balance, and difficulty reading for more than a few minutes at a time. Many patients say it feels like their glasses aren’t working, even when the prescription is  technically “correct.”

Binocular Vision Dysfunction Treatment  

Binocular vision dysfunction often goes undetected during routine eye exams, but it can seriously impact daily life. At Beyond Low Vision, we help patients who feel like “something’s off” with their vision, even if their prescription hasn’t changed.

Dr. Jacobi has over 35 years of experience in binocular vision and low vision care, offering thoughtful, individualized evaluations to uncover what’s really going on. We commonly support:

  • Patients recovering from stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), or aneurysm

  • Seniors experiencing dizziness, unsteadiness, or trouble tracking while reading

  • Individuals with double vision or frequent headaches that worsen with visual tasks

  • People struggling to read, use a computer, or move through space without fatigue

If someone told you your eyes are “fine,” but you still feel off, Dr. Jacobi will take the time to find out why.
