Feeling dizzy or off-balance can be frustrating and disruptive, especially when the root cause is unclear. While these symptoms are often associated with inner ear or neurological issues, many people are surprised to learn that visual problems can also play a major role. At Vizen Optometric Center, we take a comprehensive approach to evaluating and treating dizziness and balance concerns that may stem from visual deficits. One of the most common, yet underdiagnosed, culprits is binocular vision dysfunction.

As parents, we celebrate every milestone—first steps, first words, first day of school. But what about your child’s first eye exam? Vision plays a critical role in learning, social interactions, and overall development, yet many parents in San Gabriel don’t realize just how essential early eye care is.

Strabismus, commonly known as "crossed eyes," is a condition where the eyes do not align properly. One eye may turn inward, outward, upward, or downward while the other eye focuses on a target. This misalignment can cause problems with depth perception, double vision, and even vision loss if left untreated. Fortunately, advances in eye care have made treatment options like vision therapy highly effective in addressing strabismus. At Vizen Optometric Center, we help patients regain visual alignment and function through personalized treatment plans.

Visual  processing disorder is a neurological condition that affects an individual's ability to accurately interpret and make sense of the visual information they receive. This disorder is not related to issues with the eyes or vision itself, but rather with the brain's ability to process and understand visual stimuli.

Dry Eye Syndrome (DES) is a common condition that occurs when your eyes do not have enough tears for adequate lubrication. It can lead to visual symptoms such as redness, grittiness, burning sensation, watery eyes or even blurred vision.

Dry eye is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It occurs when your eyes fail to produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly, leading to discomfort, irritation, and even vision problems. The causes of dry eye can vary, ranging from environmental factors like dry air, wind, and smoke to underlying medical conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, thyroid disorders, and Sjögren's syndrome.
