Neuro-Optometric Assessment
Neuro-Optometric Assessment is a specialized evaluation that focuses on vision problems resulting from neurological trauma or dysfunction, such as brain injuries or concussions. Conducted by a neuro-optometrist, the assessment examines how the brain and eyes work together.
​
It includes testing for eye tracking, coordination, visual field deficits, balance, spatial awareness, and visual processing. Patients may also be evaluated for post-trauma vision syndrome or binocular vision disorders. The assessment results help design vision therapy or rehabilitation plans tailored to neurological recovery.
When is a Neuro-Optometric Assessment needed?
This assessment is commonly recommended for individuals who:
-
Have suffered a concussion or traumatic brain injury (TBI),
-
Experience dizziness, headaches, or difficulty focusing after an accident,
-
Report balance issues, motion sensitivity, or light sensitivity,
-
Have reading challenges, eye strain, or blurred vision post-injury,
-
Require vision therapy to support cognitive and motor recovery.
