Can your vision be driving your headaches, dizziness, or brain fog—even if you have 20/20 eyesight?

In this episode of The Headache Doctor Podcast, Dr. Taves sits down with neuro-optometrist Dr. Michael Saxerud to explore how the brain processes vision and why visual dysfunction is often an overlooked root cause of headaches and migraines.

They break down the difference between eyesight and brain-based vision, and how misalignment between the eyes, vestibular system, and neck can create symptoms like:

• Headaches and migraines
• Light sensitivity
• Dizziness and nausea
• Brain fog
• Poor balance or clumsiness
• Reading fatigue and difficulty concentrating

Dr. Saxerud explains how tools like yoked prism lenses, peripheral occlusion (tape on glasses), and syntonic light therapy help recalibrate the brain’s sense of “self in space,” reducing stress on the nervous system and improving function

If you’ve been told your eyes are “fine” but you still struggle with headaches or visual discomfort, this episode will open your eyes to a powerful, non-medication approach to relief.
