Neuro-optometric Rehabilitation
Neuro-optometric rehabilitation is a customized treatment program for vision problems caused by brain injuries or neurological issues. Unlike traditional vision care which primarily focuses on using glasses or contact lenses to correct vision, neuro-optometric rehabilitation focuses more on how your eyes and brain work together. By retraining your brain to improve visual functioning, neuro-optometric rehabilitation can help you regain critical visual skills needed for reading, driving, and navigating your surroundings safely.
Conditions addressed by neuro-optometric rehabilitation
At Family Eyecare of Orange, we use neuro-optometric rehabilitation to treat various conditions that can affect your vision, including:
Traumatic brain injury
Injuries like concussions can disrupt vision, affecting clarity, processing speed, and perception.
Stroke
Post-stroke patients may experience vision loss on one side (hemianopsia) or other visual challenges.
Multiple sclerosis (MS)
MS can lead to blurred or double vision and optic neuritis, an inflammation of the optic nerve.
Parkinson’s disease
This condition can impact the ability to focus or track moving objects.
Other neurological conditions
We also treat visual issues related to cerebral palsy, developmental delays, traumatic optic neuropathy, and other conditions.
