Dr. Debby Feinberg began performing pioneering work diagnosing and treating Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD) and Vertical Heterophoria (VH) in 1995. BVD and VH have been found to cause headaches, dizziness, gait imbalance, anxiety, light sensitivity, neck pain, and reading difficulties in approximately 1-in-5 patients. She and her colleagues at Vision Specialists of Michigan have treated more than 30,000 BVD/VH patients with microprism lenses and noise-canceling devices, of which half have been TBI / ABI patients. Her research (presented nationally and internationally) demonstrates that TBI patients with VH experiencing persistent post-concussive symptoms have an 80% reduction in these symptoms when treated with microprism lenses and noise-canceling devices.

Since 2013, over 50 optometrists have successfully completed the NeuroVisual Medicine Training Program and have gone on to help tens of thousands of patients. Drs. Feinberg’s co-founding of the NeuroVisual Medicine Institute is led by her mission to increase access of NeuroVisual care for patients across the globe.
