Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation Therapy
Neuro-optometric therapy represents a comprehensive approach to rehabilitate a wide range of visual, perceptual, and motor disorders. Its scope encompasses various conditions such as acquired strabismus, diplopia, binocular dysfunction, convergence and/or accommodation paresis/paralysis, oculomotor dysfunction, visual-spatial dysfunction, visual perceptual and cognitive deficits, and traumatic visual acuity loss.

Neuro Optometric Vision Rehabilitation (Brain Injuries & Vision)
Visual impairments following a brain injury are frequently underestimated and can easily go unnoticed during initial treatment. Standard eye exams often fail to detect the full extent to which the visual process has been compromised. This is why individuals who have suffered neurological insults or injuries, and are experiencing visual symptoms, can greatly benefit from a thorough vision assessment conducted by a specialized eye care professional known as a Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation Optometrist. These experts possess the expertise to diagnose, treat, and rehabilitate neurological conditions that have a detrimental impact on the visual system. By seeking such assessments, individuals can receive targeted care to address their specific visual needs, promoting optimal recovery and a higher quality of life.
Light Therapy
Colored light, an integral component of syntonic phototherapy, serves to stimulate the visual system and bring about significant alterations in the biochemistry of the brain. This innovative treatment aims to restore balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, ultimately leading to improved overall wellbeing.
Utilizing this therapy involves the placement of colored filter goggles over the eyes for a recommended duration of up to 10 minutes. These goggles are specifically selected based on the visual issues presented by the individual, ensuring a tailored approach to treatment.
