Vision Sense

odative, vergence and/or perceptual-cognitive inefficiencies. Treatment sessions include activities and exercises that augment the capacity of the brain to manage alignment, eye movements and visual processing. Optometric visual therapy assists the rehabilitation of people suffering from post traumatic vision syndrome with symptoms such as difficulty reading and comprehending what they have read, headaches, blurred vision, fluctuating vision, fatigue, balance problems, light, sound and movement sensitivities among other symptoms. At Vision Sense, we provide neuro-optometric rehabilitation assessments, progress evaluations and various forms of treatment, including yoked prisms, ophthalmic lenses and prisms, visual therapy and perceptual therapy. This optometric neuro-visual therapy component is often the missing link on the road to recovery for patients who have had a concussion. Optometric neuro-visual therapy is not simply a program of eye exercises. It is a guided (monitored) program targeted at helping the brain and eyes work better together and to improve the overall visual performance. This type of visual therapy is vastly different than that offered by other professionals as rehabilitative therapy for people with concussions, whiplash and brain injuries. This is because it involves the use of ophthalmic lenses, prisms and treatments only a licenced optometrist or ophthalmologist is able to use, and because the therapy initiates neuroplastic changes that improve the efficiency and effectivity of the visual system
