What is neuro-optometric rehabilitation? 

Neuro-optometric rehabilitation is a process that seeks to improve visual functioning and visual perception in individuals who have suffered brain trauma or have a neurological condition. It is based on the understanding that vision is a complex process that involves not only the eyes but also the brain and the nervous system. 

The goal of treatment is to help individuals regain the visual skills necessary for daily living, such as reading, driving, and performing other tasks that require visual perception and processing.  

Conditions treated by neuro-optometric rehabilitation 

Neuro-optometric rehabilitation is an effective treatment for patients experiencing visual deficits due to brain trauma and various neurological conditions, including: 

• Traumatic brain injury – A traumatic brain injury, such as a concussion, can affect various aspects of vision, including visual acuity, visual processing speed, and visual perception.  
• Stroke – A stroke can cause vision problems such as hemianopsia, which is a loss of vision on one side of the visual field.  
• Multiple sclerosis (MS) – MS can cause a range of visual symptoms, including blurred vision, double vision, and optic neuritis.  
• Parkinson’s disease – Parkinson’s disease can cause visual symptoms such as difficulty focusing and tracking moving objects. 
• Other neurological conditions – Neuro-optometric rehabilitation can also be helpful for individuals with other neurological conditions, such as cerebral palsy, developmental delays, and traumatic optic neuropathy.
