Edi Stark finds out why a little-known eye condition is going undiagnosed and untreated, and blighting the lives of hundreds of thousands of adults and children in Britain. Called binocular instability or visual stress, the problem can easily be detected and treated, but it continues to be overlooked by the Departments of Health and Education.
