Visual Rehabilitation

Visual Rehabilitation involves vision therapy that is aimed at improving the functional vision of a person who has had a stroke or traumatic brain injury (TBI), which can cause many eye problems such as eye movement disorders and visual field loss. 

 

Patients are generally referred by their Doctor, Allied Health Professional and/or Insurance company. 

​

This type of treatment can involve intensive in-clinic treatment, accompanied by home exercises. 

​

Particular conditions that can be addressed with Visual Rehabilitation include:

  • Visual Field defects (examples below)

  • Diplopia (double vision)

  • Visual Neglect

  • Cortical Visual Impairment

Initial Functional Vision Assessment + Visual Field Test + Eye Scanning Test
