The Eye-Q Podcast Episode 30 Cover - Landscape.png

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
