The Link Between Motion Sickness, Nausea & Eye Muscle Strain
The brain rectifies this situation by forcing the eyes back into alignment, which puts a great deal of stress on the eye muscles and causes them to become fatigued and overworked. It is at this point that the symptoms of VH and SOP start to appear. While these symptoms, which include dizziness and nausea, are not those which most people would associate with vision, the relationship is there. Other symptoms of VH and SOP include motion sickness, anxiety, neck pain, headaches and difficulties reading.
Why Is SVM So Often Missed?
Even when these tests are administered, they are usually only able to discern double vision and serious misalignments of the eyes. Therefore, smaller amounts of misalignment that can cause VH and SOP symptoms end up being missed.
