Neuro-Optometry

What is NeuroOptometry?: It focuses on how vision and the brain work together. It addresses visual problems that result from neurological conditions such as concussions, traumatic brain injuries, strokes, or other nervous system disorders. Neuro-optometric care helps patients improve visual function, balance, coordination, and overall quality of life through customized vision therapy and rehabilitation.

Neuro-Optometry Services

We offer advanced, personalized care that goes beyond traditional eye exams—targeting the complex connection between your vision, brain, and body. 

Whether you're recovering from injury or navigating a neurological condition, our team is here to guide you toward clarity, comfort, and confidence through comprehensive evaluation and expert-led therapies.

Neuro-Visual Evaluations

Neuro-Visual Evaluations

An in-depth assessment for patients affected by:

  • Binocular Visual Disorders & Tracking Issues

  • Vision-Related Learning Disorders

  • Autism

  • Concussions & Traumatic Brain Injury

  • Aging, Fall Risk, & Stroke

 

Our experienced doctor will evaluate your visual system and design a personalized treatment plan to enhance your well-being. Treatment options may include specialized glasses and vision rehabilitation programs, combining in-office and out-of-office procedures.

Body Posture & Balance Assessment

Body Posture & Balance Assessment

Our assessment evaluates an individual's posture, including the head, shoulders, hips, and feet, and how vision and the body perceive and interpret space.

 

Yolked prisms are used to create a more stable, upright, and balanced posture that aids in movement and functional eye coordination.

 

We utilize the Balance Evaluation Systems Test (BESTest) and Visual Evoked Potential (VEP) to establish baselines and assess the optimization of the visual system using prisms with binasal occlusions.

Neuro-Functional Optical Glasses

Neuro-Functional Optical Glasses

Customized glasses using different tints, prisms, and style choices to enhance visual attention and reduce symptoms like headaches, eyestrain, and strabismus.

 

Our goal is to optimize the visual system by creating a balance between the body and the eyes.

Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation

Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation

Designed for patients struggling with visual difficulties from binocular disorders, physical disabilities, traumatic brain injuries, and other neurological insults. Patients utilize therapeutic lenses and other equipment to learn to use their visual system more effectively. 

Optometric Phototherapy Assessment

Optometric Phototherapy Assessment

We offer specialized optometric phototherapy assessments designed to support neurological healing and promote overall balance within the nervous system. By understanding that different cells in the brain respond to specific light frequencies, we utilize the direct connection between the eyes and the brain to create tailored therapeutic solutions. Through the use of carefully prescribed light filters, patients can experience the benefits of phototherapy in the comfort of their home. This innovative approach not only aids in promoting brain healing at a cellular level but also helps to improve balance and coordination, fostering a more harmonious connection between the brain and body.

Aculight

Aculight

We offer Aculight therapy, a specialized treatment that uses a variety of frequencies to target key pressure points around the eyes, neck, and head. This therapy is designed to address binocular dysfunction, relieve tension, and provide pain relief. Aculight incorporates different frequencies that specifically target various aspects of the visual system, helping to balance the visual system and improve overall vision.Description goes here

Concussions and Vision

Concussions are a result of impact, either direct or indirect, to the head. The impact causes the brain to hit the inside of the skull and results in brain bruising. This interrupts the connection between the eyes and the brain and results in:

  • Headaches

  • Disorientation

  • Confusion

  • Dizziness

  • Light sensitivity

  • Blurred vision

  • Double vision

  • Trouble focusing

Experiencing a concussion can cause long-term symptoms like:

  • Headaches

  • Vertigo

  • Visual difficulties
