Specialty binocular vision evaluations diagnose the conditions standard screenings miss, and chart a clear path forward.
The other part, and a part standard vision screenings often miss, is how the two eyes work together. When eye teaming, focusing, or tracking aren't quite right, the consequences show up far beyond the eye chart: skipped lines while reading, headaches after screens, dizziness, double vision, fatigue, even falling grades.
A binocular vision evaluation pinpoints exactly what's happening, why it's happening, and what to do about it. Dr. Murray is a Board-Certified Fellow of the College of Optometrists in Vision Development (FCOVD), with deep training and experience in this specialty area of optometry.
When one eye sees less clearly than the other even with correction. Early diagnosis dramatically improves outcomes.
When the eyes don't point in the same direction. Constantly, intermittently, or only when tired.
The eyes don't work together at near, making sustained reading or screen use uncomfortable. One of the most commonly missed binocular issues.
Seeing two of one thing, whether constant, occasional, or only at certain distances. Often indicates a binocular vision breakdown.
Eye strain, headaches, and fatigue from sustained screen time. Often tied to focusing and teaming inefficiencies.
Visual disturbances, light sensitivity, balance issues, and reading difficulty following a concussion or head injury.
If any of these sound familiar, for yourself or your child, a binocular vision evaluation can clarify what's going on and what to do next.

Binocular vision evaluations are often covered by medical insurance (rather than vision insurance) because they address a medical concern, not a routine vision check. Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your plan's copay, deductible, and coverage. We'll verify your benefits before your visit.
Every binocular vision evaluation ends with a clear, written explanation of what we found and what we recommend. Depending on the diagnosis, next steps may include:
You'll leave understanding exactly what's going on and what comes next, not guessing.
About vision therapy: Vision therapy itself is delivered at our affiliated practice, Vision & Learning Center. If your evaluation here calls for it, we coordinate the referral directly so care stays seamless.
Referring a patient? Pediatricians, OTs, PTs, neurologists, speech therapists, and other providers can send referrals directly to referral@pedsfamilyvision.com. We'll coordinate scheduling and follow up with a report after the evaluation.
“As a teacher, I've always heard great things about Dr. Murray's office from former students and their parents. It just made sense for me to bring my own son to her. Dr. Murray was extremely informative during her evaluation, and my son really enjoys his therapist. She's super professional and writes up comprehensive notes so we can support him at home. Really pleased with the journey so far.”
“My son has been working with the team and our experience has been very positive. He truly enjoys his visits and looks forward to each session. I'm already noticing improvement. We're excited for him to complete the program.”
“Amazing studio and the staff here is very kind, helpful, and professional. We come here three times a week and everything is super nice.”
“Great communication! Clear plan to follow. Kind and encouraging. Grateful we found this practice.”
