Recover Your Vision & Regain Control After Brain Injury

Our team at Belle Vue Specialty Eye Care helps patients overcome vision problems caused by traumatic brain injuries (TBI), concussions, strokes, and other neurological events. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is defined as any damage or alteration to brain function due to external physical force.

TBI can occur from any type of force: falls, accidents, assaults, explosions, and more. There are 3 levels of TBI: mild, moderate, and severe. About 80-90% of TBIs, including concussions, fall in the mild category, which are most responsive to vision therapy and rehabilitation.

Whether you are struggling with light sensitivity, difficulty in busy environments, double vision, or balance issues, we are here to help you rebuild your visual system and get back to your daily activities with confidence.

Our vision therapy programs retrain how your eyes and brain communicate, improving focus, tracking, and overall visual processing. Contact us to schedule your consultation today.

What to Expect During Your Brain Injury Vision Exam

Our evaluation goes beyond a standard eye exam. We assess your eye movements, tracking, coordination, and how your brain processes visual information. Challenges in busy environments like grocery stores are common after brain injury.

We also check for visual midline shift, where eye misalignment causes symptoms like dizziness. If needed, we recommend neuro-rehabilitative prism lenses to help realign your eyes. Based on your results, we create a personalized vision therapy plan to improve your visual function and quality of life.

Vision Therapy for Brain Injury Rehabilitation

Vision therapy uses targeted exercises and activities to strengthen the communication between your eyes and brain. Our programs are customized to address your specific challenges, such as:

  • Improving eye tracking and focusing skills
  • Enhancing binocular vision and depth perception
  • Reducing visual fatigue and light sensitivity
  • Improving visual processing speed and attention

Consistent therapy can lead to significant improvements in reading, driving, balance, and everyday visual tasks.

Neuro-Rehabilitative Prism Lenses

Prism lenses play a crucial role in rehabilitation for patients experiencing visual midline shift or binocular vision problems after brain injury. These specially designed lenses adjust the path of light entering your eyes, helping to realign your visual system and reduce the strain caused by misalignment. 

The correction helps improve your brain’s ability to interpret spatial information, which supports better balance, coordination, and spatial orientation. Many patients experience a significant reduction in symptoms like dizziness, disorientation, and imbalance as a result.

Syntonics Phototherapy

Syntonics is a gentle, noninvasive light therapy that uses carefully selected wavelengths of light to stimulate specific areas of the brain connected to vision. By sending light signals through the eyes, Syntonics “tickles” the visual pathways to promote neural activity and support recovery. 

Though it may sound unusual, many patients, including those recovering from strokes or brain injuries, have reported improvements in their visual function and overall brain health after undergoing Syntonics therapy. It can be a valuable complement to vision therapy and other treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Yes. After a brain injury, your visual acuity may be normal, but issues like eye teaming, tracking, and processing can still cause significant problems that may affect your daily life.

Treatment length varies based on individual needs and severity of injury, but most patients see improvements within weeks to months with regular therapy.

Both prism lenses and Neurolens address eye alignment, but neuro-rehabilitative prisms are tailored explicitly for brain injury rehabilitation and visual midline shift. We will determine what is best for you during your exam.
