After a concussion, stroke, or other neurological event, patients may notice that reading is harder, busy environments feel overwhelming, or their balance and depth perception seem “off.” These symptoms can be related to changes in how the brain processes visual information—even when the eyes appear healthy. A neuro-optometric assessment examines visual function, eye coordination, focusing, spatial awareness, and the connection between vision and movement. Based on the findings, specialized lenses, rehabilitation, or collaborative care may be recommended. You do not have to ignore vision changes that affect daily life.

Great performance is not only about how clearly an athlete sees the scoreboard.

Reaction time, depth perception, peripheral awareness, visual tracking, and eye-hand coordination can all influence performance on the field, court, rink, or track.
Sports vision evaluations identify how an athlete uses visual information during fast-paced situations. Personalized training can then target the visual skills most relevant to their sport and position. Your eyes are part of your athletic system. Give them the same attention as the rest of your training.

Feeling tired after a long day of screens?

Many people experience symptoms of digital eye strain, including:
✔️ Tired eyes
✔️ Blurred vision
✔️ Headaches
✔️ Dry eyes

Whether you're working, studying, gaming, or scrolling, taking regular screen breaks can help keep your eyes comfortable. Try the 20-20-20 rule:
Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.

Your eyes work hard every day—give them the break they deserve.

Seeing 20/20 is only one part of vision. The brain and eyes must also work together to track, focus, process information, and move comfortably across a page.

For patients who experience reading fatigue, headaches, skipping words, poor concentration, or difficulty with eye coordination, a comprehensive vision assessment may uncover more than a standard eye chart can show. Our personalized vision therapy programs are designed to strengthen essential visual skills through guided, progressive activities.

Book a vision therapy assessment to learn how efficiently your eyes and brain are working together.
