Traumatic brain injury is often accompanied with visual complications. After suffering a traumatic brain injury that presents complications to the visual system, patients symptoms can be treated very effectively with vision therapy.
Among the common traumatic brain injury conditions that vision therapy can treat are
The branch of ocular science known as syntonics, or optometric phototherapy, entails the application of specific light frequencies through the eyes. In optometry, it has been used for over 70 years to treat a variety of visual disorders, including strabismus, amblyopia, focusing and convergence problems, learning disorders, and the effects of trauma and stress. This can be done standalone by itself or is most commonly done in conjunction with an in office vision therapy regimen as well.
The answer to this question is not easy because it depends on the nature of the problem, which is different in each case. Some level of improvement is to be expected fairly quickly, though a complete turnaround should not be expected overnight. It takes time for neuro-optometric rehabilitation to retrain the eyes and brain to work together as they should, especially if the injury causes severe problems. In addition, compliance with the treatment measures is crucial in order to achieve the desired results. Much of the rehabilitation is performed in the office, but patients may also be required to do exercises at home.
