Neuro-optometric rehabilitation is a specialized form of vision therapy designed to address visual problems caused by neurological conditions such as traumatic brain injury, stroke, developmental delays, or other neurological disorders. It’s about retraining the brain to properly interpret and respond to visual input. At Holistic Vision, Dr. Robin Sapossnek offers a comprehensive and individualized approach to this important therapy.

Understanding Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation

Neuro-optometric rehabilitation works by rebuilding the connection between the eyes and the brain. After a neurological event, the visual system can become disrupted, leading to symptoms such as:

• Blurred or double vision

• Difficulty reading or concentrating

• Light sensitivity

• Poor depth perception or balance

• Eye strain and fatigue

This form of therapy helps patients restore functional vision, which is critical for everyday tasks, work, and overall quality of life.

Key Components of Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation

Every patient begins with an in depth functional eye exam that goes far beyond a routine vision check. Dr. Sapossnek evaluates how the eyes move, focus, and work together, as well as how vision affects posture, coordination, and cognition.

No two brains are alike, especially following an injury or neurological condition. At Holistic Vision, each patient receives a customized therapy plan that may include in office exercises, home activities, and visual tools such as lenses or prisms.

Dr. Sapossnek may incorporate therapeutic lenses, prism glasses, light therapy, and balance training into a patient’s rehabilitation. These tools help retrain the brain’s visual processing systems in a supportive and progressive manner.

Neuro-optometric rehabilitation often works hand in hand with occupational therapy, physical therapy, and cognitive therapy. This integrative approach ensures the visual system supports the overall healing and rehabilitation process.

Progress is closely monitored, and therapy is adjusted as the patient’s visual function improves. The goal is always to return the patient to daily activities with greater comfort, focus, and confidence.
