Even mild concussion can lead to serious problems
Neuro-optometric rehabilitation can improve binocular vision for a wide variety of vision problems caused by a TBI or neurological condition. This type of rehabilitation focuses on strengthening the visual skills needed to perform regular daily activities for increased independence and improved quality of life.
What is a TBI?
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an injury that affects how the brain works. Your brain may experience changes in chemical and energy use as a way to compensate for the injury. Those changes can then result in headaches, light sensitivity, sound sensitivity, and confusion. If left undiagnosed and untreated, TBI-related conditions can have devastating effects on your quality of life and rehabilitative potential.
What are the symptoms of a TBI?
Symptoms vary depending on how severe the injury is. Some may happen immediately following the head injury while some may not manifest until after returning to school or work. Here are some of the signs to look out for:
- difficulty focusing
- blurred vision
- headaches
- difficulty concentrating
- dizziness
- anxiety
- eyes crossing/not working together
- poor visual memory
- double vision
- visual field loss
- poor depth perception
- difficulty driving
