Restoring Vision, Balance, & Quality of Life

Neuro-optometry focuses on the relationship between your eyes and your brain. Since over 50% of your brain’s surface is used to process visual information, the way you perform different visual tasks can reveal a great deal about its condition.

Our eye doctors use specific visual tests to find signs of neurological issues that even MRIs can’t always reveal. We then provide customized treatment programs to help patients regain or improve the visual skills necessary for learning and performing everyday tasks.

How a Neuro-Optometrist Can Help

Our Neuro-Optometry Exams

Our neuro-optometry specialists provide custom neuro-optometric rehabilitation therapy programs to target the underlying causes of each patient’s symptoms. To determine the exact exercises that can benefit you, we’ll perform a comprehensive exam where we assess:

How well your eyes work together
Whether your eyes struggle to focus
Your eye scanning and tracking abilities
How you process and move through your surroundings
The relationship between your vision and sense of balance
How you organize and interpret visual information (often through memory and association tests)
Your visual acuity, refraction, eye health, and peripheral vision

Your Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation Therapy Program

Once we’ve determined your needs, we’ll provide you with an individualized plan of exercises to rehabilitate your visual, perceptual, and motor skills. These exercises typically include in-office and at-home exercises and are appropriate for children as well as adults.

Our practice takes a multi-disciplinary approach to rehabilitation. In addition to neuro-optometrists, your program may include input from:

Neurologists
Rehab physicians
