From Visual Sensitivity to PPPD: When Visual Cues Become Pathological Constraints (E)
Many patients report annoyance with screens and complex visual flow. These disturbances may arise not just from ocular disorder. An unbalance in central sensory re-weighting, physiological or pathological, may turn the experience of normal visual cues into debilitating constraints. The spectrum of disturbances from physiological susceptibility to visual stimuli to the diagnosis of Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD) bridges optometric praxis and functional neurology.
