Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can have a significant impact on various aspects of vision and visual processing. As a developmental optometrist, I specialize in providing comprehensive eye care services to individuals who have experienced TBI, helping them regain visual function and quality of life.

At our practice, we offer dedicated TBI-related eye care services designed to address the unique challenges that arise from brain injuries. Our approach involves:

  1. Comprehensive Evaluation: We begin with a thorough assessment of visual function, including eye teaming, tracking, focusing, and visual processing. This evaluation helps us understand the specific visual issues that may have resulted from the TBI.

  2. Customized Treatment Plans: Every TBI is different, and we create personalized treatment plans based on the individual's needs and challenges. Our aim is to help alleviate symptoms such as double vision, light sensitivity, difficulty reading, and visual fatigue.

  3. Vision Therapy: We offer specialized vision therapy programs that are tailored to TBI-related visual issues. These therapy sessions focus on retraining the brain-eye connection, improving eye teaming and coordination, and enhancing visual processing skills.

  4. Prism Lenses: Specially prescribed prism lenses can help manage visual distortions, double vision, and other visual disturbances that often accompany TBI.

  5. Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation: We collaborate with experts in neuro-optometric rehabilitation to address visual challenges caused by brain injuries. This approach involves exercises and therapies that promote visual recovery and integration.

  6. Ongoing Support: We provide continuous monitoring and adjustments to the treatment plan as progress is made. Our goal is to help individuals with TBI achieve the best possible visual outcomes.

Our commitment is to help individuals with traumatic brain injury regain their visual function, comfort, and confidence. If you or someone you know has experienced TBI and is dealing with visual challenges, our specialized services are here to provide expert care and support on the journey to improved visual well-being.
