The NORA 2023 BVDQ™ Trial
The Binocular Vision Dysfunction Questionnaire (BVDQ™)
Thank you again for joining us NORA 2023! This trial opportunity was created specifically for NORA Members like yourself.
The BVDQ is a chance for your patients to express their symptoms themselves. Not every symptom of BVD is something you can see. More often than not, the combination of multiple symptoms that may seem unrelated is a clear indication of a Vertical Heterophoria or BVD.
How to Perform the BVDQ:
1. Have an Office Manager or other member of your staff print copies of the NVM Survey out.
2. While waiting for their exam, have your staff give a copy to your patient to fill out.
3. Collect the filled surveys at the end of the day and score them.
How to Score the BVDQ:
1. Tally up the 25 questions on the front and multiply them by their corresponding score – Occasionally = 1, Frequently = 2, and Always = 3.
2. If the score is 15 or more, then that person has screened positive for BVD.
3. If they do not score 15 overall or 5 in any listed symptom, then they do not likely have BVD.
