Neuro-Optometric Therapy
What is Neuro-Optometric Therapy?  
Neuro-optometric therapy is an individualized treatment regimen for patients with visual deficits as a direct result of physical disabilities, traumatic brain injuries (concussions), and other neurological conditions (migraines).  In addition, this type of therapy can help patients with reading difficulties become more proficient readers.

Neuro-Optometric therapy can help improve any of the following area. If you are struggling as a direct result of a TBI, concussion, chronic migraines or reading deficiencies please give us a call! 

1

Visual Acuity

  • Dynamic - this is how well you can see while in motion.​
  • Static - this is how well you can when NOT in motion.

2

Eye/Hand/Head/Foot Coordination

Coordination between extremities 
 

3

Eye Focusing​

  • Convergence - moving the eyes to be able to see a specific object at a specific place.
  • Divergence - moving the eyes to be able to scan the field or playing area.

4

Peripheral vision

  • This is seeing off to the side without looking.​
  • This is also working on the minds ability to see what the brain picks up on and learning to see what the brain process.  We call this "working memory".

5

Tracking

The ability to follow an object in time and space.​
 

6

Balance

  • This is being able to tell the smallest difference in what an object is doing or moving.​
  • Distinguishing the smallest differences in flight of the ball or path it will take.
  • Making objects seem clearer and more visible.

7

Reaction Time

Being able to respond quicker.​

8

Depth Perception

Being able to tell where an object is in space and how it is moving.​

9

Contrast Sensitivity

  • Maintaining clear focus also means to able to maintain stability and balance.​
  • Keeping good head and body control will allow you to see better and increase all above visual demands.

Next Steps?

Initial Evaluation

  • This is the first session and is required to start any sort of concussion or TBI therapy.

  • Depending on your insurance, many of the therapy sessions could be covered which is why your out of pocket price can vary.  

  • These tests establish all of the baseline data that we need in order to tailor-make training specific therapy for you.

  • This diagnostic session is 1 hour in length and will screen your visual and cognitive system. 

  • After the tests we will review the results with you and come up with a therapy plan for you!
