What Sorts of Issues can Cause Nausea or Dizziness?

Symptoms of nausea, dizziness, and vertigo when related to vision tend to occur following traumatic brain injuries, including mild concussions.

The body maintains balance through the cooperation of three separate systems.

The vestibular system is primarily located in the inner ear, and provides the brain with information about motion, head position, and spatial orientation.

Proprioceptors located in the legs and feet give the body a stable platform along with information on movement and motion.

Lastly, the visual system, most relevant for us, provides information from the eyes to the brain, and it is in fact the dominant system when it comes to staying balanced and preventing dizziness.

Conditions Which can Cause Dizziness or Nausea

An issue in the visual system can lead to conditions which cause balance-related symptoms. These include:

  • Incorrect prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses
  • Binocular vision disorder
  • Eye strain
  • Vertigo
  • Spatial disorientation
  • Nystagmus (involuntary and repetitive eye movements)
  • Visual midline shift syndrome
  • Hemianopsia (blindness in half of the visual field)
  • Traumatic brain injury
When Should You Seek Treatment?

When Should You Seek Treatment?

If you have recently suffered a traumatic brain injury, and especially if you are already experiencing symptoms such as dizziness or trouble balancing, you should seek treatment as soon as possible. The earlier treatment starts, the greater your odds at achieving the best possible results. However, even if treatment isn’t sought immediately, neuro-optometric rehabilitation therapy can still greatly improve your condition.
