Visually-induced motion sickness, visually induced dizziness, or visual vertigo are generic terms to describe dizziness triggered by visual stimuli of some kind. This can also be a contributing factor to those who suffer from motion sensitivity. The dizziness brought on by such visual stimuli can be described as spinning, brain fog, rocking, floating, heaviness, etc. The visual stimuli itself can also be quite varied and include looking at busy patterns such as stripes, dots, checkerboard pattern or when confronted with moving objects, such as when a large object, like a bus, moves past you when sitting in a stopped car.
In a normal individual, such visual stimuli may cause fleeting if any symptoms, but for someone who suffers from visual vertigo, it may cause significant persistent and/or recurrent dizzy symptoms on a regular basis.
Exercises can be performed to help this condition, ultimately resulting in normal balance.
All exercises should be performed for 20 seconds. To get the best results, do the exercises 3-5 times a day with a variety of distances and visual backgrounds. If you feel too dizzy, slow down or use a smaller movement. Work at your own pace, but remember this exercise needs to feel a little challenging to be effective.
