March is Brain Injury Awareness Month!
It’s an important reminder that when the brain is injured, the visual system is often affected too.
Concussion, stroke, and other acquired brain injuries can disrupt how the eyes work together, how the brain processes visual information, and how patients move through their world. Many individuals experience double vision, headaches, light sensitivity, poor concentration, dizziness, or difficulty reading - all symptoms that are frequently misunderstood or overlooked.
Vision Therapy, guided by trained developmental optometrists and therapists, plays a critical role in neuro-optometric rehabilitation. Through individualized, evidence-informed programs, patients can rebuild visual efficiency, regain confidence, and restore functional skills that impact school, work, and daily life.
If you or someone you know is recovering from a brain injury and struggling with visual symptoms, don’t overlook this vital piece of the puzzle.
