At GLVR, we specialize in helping patients of ALL ages improve their vision health through personalized rehabilitation and therapy. Sharing our page will help spread the word on how important vision care and rehabilitation truly is.

Your share could be the reason someone finally finds answers for symptoms like dizziness, light sensitivity after an injury, or for a child that may be struggling in school with reading, learning, or suffering from headaches.

Together, we can spread the word on how their visual system could be contributing to these challenges and let them know help is available. 💜

🌟 Experience the Future of Vision Therapy with the VTS4 HoloLens 🌟

At Great Lakes Vision Rehabilitation, we believe therapy should be both effective and engaging. That’s why we’ve incorporated the VTS4 HoloLens into our vision therapy program—an innovative tool that brings the power of augmented reality directly into treatment sessions.

👓 What is the VTS4 HoloLens?
The VTS4 HoloLens is a state-of-the-art vision therapy system that uses immersive augmented reality to help train essential visual skills. Instead of traditional eye exercises, patients interact in a 3D environment that makes therapy feel fun. Patients practice depth perception, eye teaming, and visual coordination in a virtual space—turning therapy into an experience they look forward to.

💡 Who can benefit?

Children who struggle with reading, math, or attention in school
Patients recovering from concussions or traumatic brain injuries
Athletes looking to sharpen visual reaction time and coordination
Anyone needing stronger, more comfortable binocular vision.

Treatment is customized to each patient’s needs, whether recovering from a brain injury, strengthening visual skills for school, or improving sports performance, this allows therapy to feel less like “work” and more like play. It keeps patients motivated and can often see better results.

At GLVR, we combine the latest technology with expert care to give our patients every advantage in their vision journey. The VTS4 HoloLens is just one of the many advanced tools we use to make vision therapy both cutting-edge and patient-centered.

It’s very common for individuals who experience a concussion to also struggle with vision issues. Beyond the more widely recognized symptoms like blurred vision or light sensitivity, many other visual challenges often go unrecognized because these problems aren’t always listed among the classic concussion symptoms, they may be overlooked, untreated, or not managed as effectively as possible.

Some of the visual difficulties we frequently see in patients after a head injury include:

Blurred vision
Trouble maintaining focus
Difficulty reading
Sensitivity to light (photophobia)
Reduced peripheral vision
Challenges with depth perception
Motion sensitivity

A concussion can cause either short-term or ongoing changes in how the visual system functions. While severe injuries may damage the optic nerve directly, most post-concussion vision problems are linked to disrupted communication between the brain and the eyes and these symptoms don’t always show up right away. They may develop gradually over time, or only become noticeable in situations of stress, fatigue, or visual demand. Everything from eye movements to peripheral awareness can be affected.

If you or your child has recently suffered a concussion and are noticing vision issues since, we encourage you to call our office to find out more information. Our Patient Care Coordinator is always a welcoming voice there to answer your questions.

We are live in the vision therapy room, where a patient is honing vergence facility skills using prism flippers, motion processing (Wallach Targets on the screen), and vestibular integration with movement. This exemplifies sensory integration. Additionally, the patient is practicing 3-D vision while walking to simulate real-world movements (check our story...)..

Early intervention is crucial!

"The practical conclusion is that someone with a concussion-related vision problem really shouldn’t wait to start vision therapy if symptoms interfere with daily functions."
