Vision Rehabilitation for Post Concussion & Dizziness
Concussion, head injury and neurological disorders can be life-changing. Even minor injuries can result in ongoing, and often hidden vision problems long after injury.
What is Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation?
Neuro-optometric rehabilitation is a form of therapy aimed at treating visual problems resulting from brain injuries or neurological disorders.
This therapy focuses on retraining the visual system. The goal is to improve activities of daily living due to changes in spatial judgement, dealing with moving environments, coordination, balance, visual processing and concentration.
Another part of neuro-optometric care is to find ways of reducing symptoms through prescribing techniques using lenses, prisms, films and tints.
Our highly trained and experienced neuro-optometrists utilise advanced techniques and state-of-the-art technology to diagnose and treat a variety of conditions, ensuring that each patient receives the highest quality care.
Conditions We Treat
- Concussion: Concussions can significantly impact your vision, leading to symptoms such as blurred vision, double vision, light sensitivity, and difficulty focusing. A tailored rehabilitation programs address these issues, helping you recover and restore normal visual function.
- Vertigo and Dizziness: Visual disturbances often accompany vertigo and dizziness, making daily activities challenging. Assessment helps identify and treat the underlying visual problems contributing to balance issues and dizziness.
- Brain Injuries: Brain injuries can disrupt the complex interactions between the eyes and the brain, causing a range of visual impairments. Our neuro-optometric assessments pinpoint these disruptions, and our rehabilitation programs are designed to reduce symptoms, or to restore and enhance visual performance.
What are the steps?
Neuro-optometric care is patient-centered and the process includes:
- Comprehensive Assessment: You have a thorough evaluation of your vision, visual skills and ocular health. This often includes assessments of oculo-motor function, binocular function (convergence), focusing (accommodation) and visual processing.
- Personalised Treatment Plans: Based on the assessment results, you receive customised treatment plans tailored to your unique needs. These plans may include vision therapy, specialised lenses, and other therapeutic interventions aimed at improving your visual function.
- Ongoing Support and Monitoring: Rehabilitation is a continuous process. You will receive ongoing support and regular monitoring to track your progress and make necessary adjustments to your treatment plan, ensuring optimal outcomes. This may include referrals to other health professions where necessary.
