Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation
for Brain Injury & Stroke
Vision is more than 20/20 eyesight. A standard
vision exam detects eyesight and eye disease damage. Neuro-Optometric
Vision Evaluation includes testing of visual skills necessary
for school, work, sports and activities of daily living. Visual
problems are much more common in children and adults with brain
injury. Diagnosing and treating visual performance skills that
affect tasks of daily living is critical to achieving maximum
potential.
Dr. Cathy Stern can help children and adults achieve
maximum potential by diagnosing their post trauma vision
syndrome and offering Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation.
