Etiology and treatment of motion sickness: a review

J R Pitman et al. J Am Optom Assoc. 1983 Jan.

Abstract

The role of vision in motion sickness has often been either exaggerated or ignored. After examining some early theories of motion sickness, this review discusses the sensory conflict theory and visual aspects of motion sickness. A wide range of preventative measures, both optometric and non-optometric, are presented to give the vision care specialist some practical solutions to the problem of motion distress.
