Concussions or other traumatic or acquired brain injuries can and will affect many different visual processing skills like balance and cognition making it difficult to live your life the way that you choose. Activities of daily living can become challenging with loss of independence. By providing neuro-optometric rehabilitation, neuro-optometrists can help you by offering you an individualized neuro-optometric rehabilitation program, which will allow you to decrease or eliminate your post-injury symptoms and improve your visual skills and thereby improve your quality life.
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 for the rest of their lives. It is very common for me to see patients 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 for, and that controls balance, posture, movement, comprehension and the processing of cognition. There is no cognition without vision. One can have terrible eyesight and great vision and be able to do whatever they want to do or can have great eyesight and very poor vision and have to be dependent on others for their care. One only needs glasses or contact lenses for their poor eye sight . You will need neuro-optometric rehabilitation to treat vision problems. Only neuro-optometrist can evaluate vision and treat these complicated problems with neuro-optometric rehabilitation.
Please, contact us today and let us help you by treating your visual difficulties and improving your quality of life. Only neuro-optometrist can treat these difficult problems.
