Your Eye-Q Question for the Week:
Why do busy environments make your dizzy?

Ever feel dizzy, off-balance, nauseated, or overwhelmed in grocery stores, big-box stores, crowded places, while scrolling, or when driving at night?
In this Eye-Q Podcast Quick Take, neuro-ophthalmologist Dr. Rani Banik explains how your eyes, inner ears, and brain work together to maintain balance—and why visual motion can trigger dizziness even when your eye exam is normal.
You’ll learn about:
visual-vestibular mismatch
vestibular migraine
visual vertigo and motion sensitivity
the vestibulo-ocular reflex
PPPD
vestibular rehabilitation
migraine lifestyle strategies
warning signs that need urgent evaluation
Vestibular migraine can cause dizziness even when headache is not the dominant symptom.
Dr. Banik also discusses supportive nutrition strategies, including magnesium and riboflavin, and explains where OpticaMD Neuro Tension may fit as part of a broader migraine-wellness approach—not as a treatment for dizziness. Learn more HERE: https://www.opticamd.com/pages/migraine
