Vision Sense Optometry is the first practice offering neuro-optometric, developmental and behavioural vision rehabilitation therapy in the province of Nova Scotia. We focus on treatments which aid visual recovery from traumatic and acquired brain injuries, concussions, whiplash, and strokes. Optometric neuro-visual treatment programs are carefully formulated to correct visual-motor, accommodative, vergence and/or perceptual-cognitive inefficiencies. Treatment sessions include activities and exercises that augment the capacity of the brain to manage alignment, eye movements and visual processing.
Optometric visual therapy assists with the rehabilitation of people suffering from post traumatic vision syndrome with symptoms such as difficulty reading and comprehending what they have read, headaches, blurred vision, fluctuating vision, fatigue, balance problems, light, sound and movement sensitivities among other symptoms. This group of people often struggle with returning to work, school, and regular life activities. At Vision Sense, we provide neuro-optometric rehabilitation assessments, progress evaluations and various forms of treatment, including yoked prisms, ophthalmic lenses and prisms, visual therapy and perceptual therapy. This optometric neuro-visual therapy component is often the missing link on the road to recovery for patients who have had a concussion.
Optometric neuro-visual therapy is not simply a program of eye exercises. It is a guided (monitored) program targeted at helping the brain and eyes work better together and to improve the overall visual performance. This type of neuro-visual therapy is vastly different than other types of rehabilitative therapy for people with concussions, whiplash and brain injuries. This is because it addresses the visual processing system, which is our primary sensory system, using ophthalmic lenses, prisms and treatments only a licenced optometrist or ophthalmologist is able to use. Optometric neuro-visual therapy initiates neuroplastic changes that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the visual system.
