FACT: In certain cases, multiple surgeries are needed to correct misaligned eyes. Even then, it mostly impacts cosmetic appearance rather than how the eyes function together. Vision Therapy teaches the brain how to effectively use both eyes, which results in increased depth perception and other enhanced vision skills. Note that post-surgery patients may also benefit from vision therapy.

Did you know? A stroke can affect visual processing abilities, meaning that you may be able to see everything in your visual field but will have problems processing that visual information. For example, you may be able to see another person’s face but might not recognize it. Neuro-rehabilitation therapy retrains the brain and eyes to work better as a team so you can process what you see so you can live a better life.

E-scooter accidents are on the rise, and it shouldn't come as a surprise! E-scooters tend to travel at a high speed, with objects and people rapidly moving all around them. To prevent accidents, one needs to be able to focus, track objects, and react quickly.

Even the smallest increase in visual processing ability and reaction time can help avoid an accident. Fortunately, sports vision can train your eye-brain connection to strengthen these visual skills so you can feel safer riding your e-scooter. And as always, don't forget to wear your helmet!

Concussions and Vision Processing

Concussions and Vision Processing Online Webinar Event
Jun 25, 12:00 – 1:00 PM
Meet Dr. Ingryd Lorenzana, an international award-winning optometrist and vision specialist, the innovator of the groundbreaking CogniViision™ “TRAIN the BRAIN not JUST the EYES“ protocol and a true believer in Brain Training through vision as an effective method to succeed in school, excel in sports, increase productivity in the workplace, ultimately transforming the quality of life.

Unlike traditional psychiatry, which rarely looks at the brain, Amen Clinics uses brain imaging technology to identify hidden or undetected concussions and mild traumatic brain injuries.

Dr. Lorenzana will discuss:
- Her practice and affiliation with Amen Clinics
- The importance of brain health and the importance of eye health
- Concussions and vision processing and how all of these things tie together

Cataracts are a leading cause of vision loss in people around the world. This condition refers to a clouding of the eye lens that blocks or changes the light's passage into the eye and causes vision to become blurry, as though looking through a pair of dirty glasses.

GLASSES MAY NOT BE ENOUGH. While prescription glasses are definitely helpful for those with visual acuity problems, glasses alone will not correct perception problems, help with poor eye tracking, or enable the eyes to work together as a team. Vision therapy effectively trains the eyes and brain to work together through practice and repetition, resulting in lifelong changes.

Here's something all parents should know! Studies suggest that boys with attention deficits or hyperactivity are more prone to sustaining traumatic brain injuries (TBI). 90% of TBI patients experience some sort of visual or ocular dysfunction due to their injury, but we can help. Neuro-optometric rehabilitation therapy aims to improve visual functioning and the eye-brain connection after a TBI. Contact us to learn more.
