Q: Why Does My Vision Improve When I Tilt or Turn My Head?
A: You may turn or tilt your head for any of the following reasons:
- Eye Misalignment (Strabismus)
- Duane Syndrome
- Nystagmus
- Ptosis
- Refractive Error
If you find that you're tilting or turning your head to see objects or read better, it’s important to schedule an eye exam to identify the cause of the problem.
Patients with ocular neurological problems may be experiencing some of these symptoms:
Eye strain, headaches or migraines
Eye turn or blurry vision
Reading or attention problems
Difficulty moving the eyes
Involuntary eye movements
Pressure in the eyes or head
Uneven pupils
Double vision
Droopy eyelids
Facial distortion
If your eye doctor suspects that your eye condition may be rooted in the nerves or the brain, they may recommend an appointment with a neuro-ophthalmologist, who is trained to diagnose and treat eye irregularities with a neurological cause.
