Concussion Vision Rehabilitation in Barrie

 Your vision can be a major cause of dizziness, this occurs when there is a mismatch between the vision and vestibular systems. These systems have to work together to help maintain a stable visual world. There are ways to correct the existing imbalance with prescription lenses or by training the visual system to compensate for any vestibular problems, you can reduce your dizziness and get back to your life.

Your headaches or migraines could be caused by your vision. Unfortunately, they are often just diagnosed as chronic migraines without further investigation of a cause. Most patients will be put on migraine medications to help reduce the frequency and severity without ruling out other potential post-concussion causes such as vision dysfunction, cervical injury/misalignment or hormonal disruption.

 Many concussion patients will report an increase in clumsiness, coordination and balance issues, but don’t recognize that this can often result from depth perception issues or difficulty with spatial awareness. Even more important, undiagnosed issues with the peripheral vision system can lead to bumping into or tripping over objects increasing the risk of reinjury or multiple head injuries which can further increase concussion symptoms or slow concussion recovery.
