Concussion, Brain Injury and
Post-stroke
Functional Vision Eye Exam
Our eyes are a part of the brain. An injury to the brain from a stroke, car accident, sports injury or a blow to the head can adversely affect our vision. Common visual symptoms after a concussion include sensitivity to light, difficulty concentrating when trying to read, double vision, skipping lines and words, or shifting gaze from close such as a phone or screen then looking far and vice versa.
Other symptoms that might not always be associated with vision include dizziness, vertigo, difficulty being in crowded or busy environments such as grocery stores or the mall, scrolling text on phone or computer screens, retaining what was just read, being able to make eye contact while listening, or staring off into space.
If you have concerns about visual symptoms after a head injury or fall contact us to schedule a Functional Neuro-Optometric vision exam.
Treatment for vision problems
Dr. Malhotra provides treatment for vision problems that result from concussion, whiplash and stroke. Concussions and other types of traumatic brain injuries can affect many aspects of vision which can, in turn, negatively impact many areas of life, such as balance, gait, coordination, reading and learning abilities, memory, and life skills. You do not need to have had loss of consciousness to have a concussion. Whiplash can cause a concussion resulting in symptoms. We are specialists in neuro-optometric vision testing and rehabilitation.
