So, Exactly What is Neuro-Optometry? The Intersection of Neurology and Optometry
If you suffer from a neurological insult, disease, or trauma, see Dr. Olivia Browne for a neuro-optometric assessment.
Neuro-optometric rehabilitation is a customized treatment program for patients with visual deficits resulting from a stroke, traumatic brain injury, concussion, or neurological condition. It utilizes the latest methodology and treatments for neuroplasticity and visual function to help patients develop or regain the essential visual skills necessary for optimal daily function.
As part of an interdisciplinary approach, neuro-optometric rehabilitation targets the underlying cause of debilitating symptoms like double vision, motion sensitivity, eye pain, and headaches.

Have You Had a Concussion or Traumatic Brain Injury? The Underlying Issues—Causing Symptoms like Dizziness, Blurred Vision...
Concussion From Head Injuries
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
Because more areas of the brain are used to process vision than any other system, traumatic brain injuries often result in vision problems. In fact, studies show that 90% of TBI patients experience some form of vision disruption, which is caused by interrupted communication between the eyes and the brain.
Mild Brain Injury (MTBI)—Concussions
Though considered mild, a concussion is still a brain injury that can cause ongoing debilitating symptoms and alter the normal function of one’s brain.
The most affected demographic are children and teens, and of those, more than 60% experience visual symptoms. Older people are also prone to concussions. If you or a family member has sustained a concussion or even whiplash—such as from a violent blow to the head—we strongly urge you to get your eyes examined as soon as possible.
Strokes Can Disrupt Your Visual Function As Well
A stroke (also called a cerebrovascular accident, or CVA) occurs when there's a sudden interruption of the blood supply to part of the brain, or a blood vessel in the brain bursts, spilling blood into the spaces surrounding brain cells. The ocular changes associated with stroke can be categorized as sensory (visual acuity and visual field), motor (extraocular muscle motility) and perceptual.
