NeuroEquilibrium DVA provides a reliable method for doctors and patients to evaluate and address vestibular impairments, ensuring effective diagnosis and rehabilitation.
Dynamic acuity, also called dynamic visual acuity, refers to the ability to see details clearly while either you or the object you are viewing is moving. It reflects how well the eyes, inner ear, and brain work together during motion. This function is especially important for activities like walking, driving, or sports, where clear vision is needed despite head movement.
Measuring dynamic visual acuity helps identify problems in how the vestibular system stabilizes vision during movement. Reduced dynamic acuity can explain symptoms like blurred vision, dizziness, or imbalance while walking. Specialized balance centers such as Neuroequillibrium use this measurement to understand vestibulo-ocular reflex function and guide targeted rehabilitation for people with motion-related visual difficulties.
“DVA eyes” is an informal way of referring to how the eyes perform during a Dynamic Visual Acuity test. It reflects how well the eyes maintain focus when the head is moving. Poor DVA eye performance may indicate vestibular dysfunction, where signals from the inner ear fail to properly stabilize vision, often contributing to dizziness or difficulty reading signs while in motion.
The four commonly described types of visual acuity are static visual acuity, dynamic visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and functional visual acuity. Together, they assess how clearly a person sees stationary objects, moving objects, low-contrast details, and vision during everyday tasks. Evaluating these types helps clinicians understand different aspects of visual performance beyond standard eye charts.
Static visual acuity measures how clearly you see stationary objects, such as letters on an eye chart while sitting still. Dynamic visual acuity measures clarity of vision during head or object movement. Differences between the two can indicate balance or vestibular issues, which are often evaluated at advanced diagnostic centers like Neuroequillibrium to better understand motion-related visual symptoms.
