EP 32: Vision - it's more than 20/20


Listen Later

Have you ever considered the impact of vision on your overall well-being, especially after a concussion?

 

Many people underestimate the significance of visual disturbances following a concussion, assuming that clear vision means everything is fine.

 

However, the truth is, functional vision and visual processing are often affected, leading to difficulties in tasks like reading, watching screens, and navigating busy environments. But fear not! By understanding the components of vision and implementing targeted strategies, we can effectively address these issues and facilitate recovery.

 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

👉 The misconception surrounding vision after a concussion and why it's crucial to assess functional vision beyond visual clarity.

👉 The various components of functional vision and how they contribute to post-concussion symptoms.

👉 Specific assessment tools and strategies for clinicians to evaluate and treat visual disturbances effectively.

👉 Practical management strategies for individuals experiencing visual symptoms, including palming, tracing, and binasal occlusion.

 

Whether you're a clinician seeking to enhance your understanding of visual rehabilitation or someone navigating post-concussion symptoms, addressing vision can be a game-changer in your recovery journey. Stay tuned for more insightful episodes, and until then, take care!
