Dr. Fabian Tai & Associates offer Vision Rehabilitation

Traumatic Brain Injuries & Concussion

Traumatic Brain injuries can alter the connections between your eyes and your brain causing vision related symptoms. A concussion is only one type of brain injury; you can also acquire a traumatic brain injury through strokes, lack of oxygen to the brain, car accidents, sports-related injuries and more.  

It is important to note that visual signs and symptoms of a concussion may not appear until hours, days, or weeks after the injury. You can experience a wide range of visual problems that can result from a traumatic brain injury. The following are some common visual symptoms that you may experience: 

• Eye strain and fatigue with reading/computer work 

• Headaches  

• Focusing problems 

• Difficulty with memory  

• Double vision 

• Light sensitivity  

• Nausea or dizziness 

• Balance or coordination issues  

• Inability to tolerate a busy environment 

As Optometrists trained in neuro-optometric rehabilitation, we can evaluate your signs and symptoms, review your medical history, and conduct a detailed visual examination. Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation, the type of Vision Therapy used in the treatment of traumatic brain injuries, can be very effective in restoring your visual system to normal function so that you can return to your daily life. 

If you think you or anyone you know is experiencing any of the visual symptoms, contact our office and we would be happy to help you book your visual rehabilitation examination.
