Neuro-Optometry

Neuro-optometry is a subspecialty of optometry that focuses on diagnosing and treating visual and neurological conditions, particulary those that affect the visual system after it has been changed by a neurological event. Those events could include strokes, brain injuries, concussions and degenerative diseases.

Beyond that however, it also addresses patients who experience increased near visual demands or significant stressors in life that then cause the visual system to function below its potential.

Our focus at High5 Vision is rehabilitation for all ages based on an individualized treatment regimen that is tailor made to diagnoses that stem from the above.

Think about how complex your brain is and the functions it performs on a minute-by-minute basis. Now, did you know that more than half of your brain is involved in processing visual information? So any injury or significant stress that occurs is more than likely to affect your vision in one manner or another. Regardless of what the cause of these deficits were, most patients will see the following symptoms to a varying degree:

• difficulty focusing

• blurred vision

• headaches

• difficulty concentrating

• dizziness

• eyes crossing/not working together

• poor visual memory

• double vision

• visual field loss

• poor depth perception

Here at High5 Vision, our doctors will navigate your visual deficiencies with individualized treatment programs using a variety of methods to get you on your way to recovery and success. Neuro-optometric therapy and rehabilitation is a process for the improvement of visual, perceptual and motor disorders. These may include strabismus, diplopia, binocular dysfunction, convergence, oculomotor dysfunction, visual-spatial dysfunction, perceptual and cognitive deficits and traumatic visual acuity loss.
