Recovering from a concussion, head trauma, stroke, or neurological disease?
Neuro-optometric Vision Therapy can help you get your life back.
Only neuro-optometrist have the training and experience to treat these type of problems because vision is more complicated than what the public and most medical professional think. Because vision is so poorly understood, it is very typical that patients are not referred by their doctors and therapists leaving them to suffer with the vision problems, hormonal imbalances and decreased quality of life. It is very common for me to see a patient years after their neurological event (concussion or stroke) who were just discovering that there was such a doctor as a neuro-optometrist and that a rehabilitation treatment called neuro-optometric rehabilitation existed.
Vision is not 20/20. That is a measurement of “Eye Sight”. Eye sight is only a very small portion of vision. Vision is the dominant sense used to make sense of the world, and that controls balance, posture, movement, comprehension and the processing of cognition. There is no cognition without vision. You think through the visual system. One only needs glasses or contact lenses for their poor eye sight. One will need neuro-optometric rehabilitation to treat the vision problems and hormonal imbalances from concussion and stroke. Only neuro-optometrist can evaluate vision and treat these complicated problems with neuro-optometric rehabilitation.
WHAT IS NEURO-OPTOMETRIC REHABILITATION ?
Neuro-optometric rehabilitation is an rehabilitation treatment regimen developed by a neuro-optometrist to help patients who have experienced symptoms secondary to concussions ,traumatic brain injuries,stroke or other neurological diseases like Multiple Sclerosis ,COVID encephalopathy , Parkinson’s disease , Alzheimer’s disease and post-neurosurgical complications .
Neuro-optometric rehabilitation is a process for the rehabilitation of the visual processing of visual information which is involved in the majority of the entire parts of the brain.
Some of the symptoms that a neuro-optometrist can help to eliminate or minimize with neuro-optometric rehabilitation after concussion include:
-
Headaches
-
Double vision
-
Dizziness and Disequilibrium
-
Light and Noise Sensitivity
-
Anxiety
-
Insomnia
-
Brain fog
-
Nausea
-
Difficulty reading and poor comprehension
-
Poor Memory
-
Blurry eyesight
-
Loss of side vision
-
Difficulty walking(gait disturbance)
-
Poor balance (high fall risk)
-
Eye teaming difficulties (Binocular vision disorders)
-
Convergence or focusing difficulties
-
Oculomotor dysfunction (poor eye tracking)
-
Acquired strabismus (eye turns from paresis or paralysis of eye muscles).
Treatment regimens are designed specifically for each patient to address their particular issues. The length of treatment will vary from patient to patient, but it can take anywhere from a few months to a years.
After a thorough analysis of the visual system neurologically, treatment is achieved with the use of special prisms lenses, lenses, filters, patches, tints, nutrition guidance and neuro-optometric visual postural rehabilitation techniques and procedures.
