So, a visual processing dysfunction? Not visual-muscular.

You have a whole SYSTEM that has to work together to "see" something. "Conduction" comes first, basically that your neurons respond to incoming light and the lenses, etc. in your eye focus that light successfully (your daughter can do that). Then that info gets transferrred through neurons and projected onto parts of the brain (there COULD be a problem at this level). Then the brain gets to process/interpret what it receives. There could be a problem there as well.

Binocular usually refers to the eyes working together but it also can refer to the "system" working in concert successfully. What do you want to know?

Make sure you have a good specialist doing the eval and consider having a second opinion (even if you feel the first is correct). Therapy may be warranted but you'll get a range of opinions on that from: it is voodoo to, it is The Answer.
