Functional Challenges

Sometimes the issue isn’t pain or vision loss — it’s how your eyes are working together. Functional challenges affect how you focus, track, or process visual information, and they can impact reading, concentration, or overall visual comfort.

Common symptoms include:

• Eye strain or fatigue, especially with screen use
  
• Difficulty switching focus between near and far
  
• Double vision or image ghosting
  
• Frequent blinking or squinting
  
• Headaches after visual tasks
  
• Difficulty with depth perception or balance
  
• Children avoiding reading or showing signs of visual confusion
