Concussions are a common injury that affects millions of people every year. While most people make a full recovery, some experience long-term symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and visual disturbances. 

At SIGHT Multispecialty Center in Farmington, CT, we offer comprehensive neuro-optometric rehabilitation services to help individuals with concussion-related visual problems.  

What is neuro-optometric rehabilitation?  

Concussions can cause a variety of vision-related problems such as double vision, light sensitivity, blurred vision, and difficulty with eye movements. These symptoms can have a significant impact on a person’s well-being and their ability to perform everyday tasks.  

Neuro-optometric rehabilitation (NOR) is a type of therapy that focuses on improving visual function and quality of life in patients with concussions or other types of brain injuries. Our doctors work closely with patients to develop a personalized treatment plan that may include exercises, specialized lenses, and other therapeutic techniques.  

What are the benefits of neuro-optometric rehabilitation for concussions? 

NOR can help individuals with concussion-related visual problems in several ways, including: 

  • Improving eye movements and coordination 
  • Restoring visual perception and processing 
  • Reducing visual discomfort and light sensitivity 
  • Improving reading and other near-vision tasks 
  • Improving balance and spatial awareness 
  • Improving cognitive function and attention 

What does neuro-optometric rehabilitation for concussions involve? 

At SIGHT Multispecialty Center, we provide a comprehensive approach to neuro-optometric rehabilitation for concussions. Our doctors perform a thorough evaluation of visual function to determine the specific visual deficits and symptoms that a patient is experiencing. Based on the results of this evaluation, we develop a personalized treatment plan to address the patient’s specific needs. 

Treatment may include exercises to improve eye movements and coordination, specialized lenses to reduce visual symptoms, and other therapeutic techniques. We work closely with other healthcare professionals such as neurologists, physical therapists, and occupational therapists to ensure that our patients receive the best care for their concussion. 

Who can benefit from neuro-optometric rehabilitation for concussion?

NOR can benefit anyone who has experienced a concussion, regardless of the severity of the injury. It is especially helpful for anyone who is experiencing any visual symptoms after a concussion, such as double vision, light sensitivity, or difficulty with eye movements.
