How to tell if you have ophthalmogenic vertigo

The average patient is usually unable to determine whether he or she is suffering from ophthalmogenic vertigo, and patients who experience prolonged symptoms of vertigo should seek prompt medical attention to have the cause identified by a doctor. Vertigo caused by ophthalmogenic vertigo is non-motor illusory vertigo, and the patient’s discomfort will gradually worsen with the increased use of the eyes, and closing the eyes can relieve or eliminate the vertigo. However, when the patient’s eyes are open, especially when looking at a moving object, the vertigo will increase and is often accompanied by blurred vision and transient loss of vision. When the above symptoms occur patients should consult the doctor in time for appropriate examinations, such as visual acuity, refractive interstitial, fundus, ocular muscle function examination, as well as vestibular function, hearing, neurological examination and cardiovascular system examination. It is recommended that patients with ophthalmogenic vertigo seek prompt medical attention to evaluate their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
