Neuro Optometry
Neuro-Optometry is a specialized field within Optometry that focuses on the relationship between the visual system and the brain.
It addresses visual issues that result from neurological conditions, such as traumatic brain injuries, strokes, physical disabilities, or neurological diseases. Neuro-Optometrists work to assess and treat visual disturbances that may arise from these conditions, often using therapies that integrate visual and neurological rehabilitation techniques.
Treatment might include visual therapy, prism lenses, and other interventions aimed at improving visual function and quality of life for patients with neurological impairments. The goal is to help patients regain or improve their visual abilities, which can be crucial for their overall recovery and daily functioning.

It’s a structured program of exercises, activities, and sometimes special tools designed to improve how the eyes work together and how the brain processes visual information. It’s not about “strengthening” eye muscles the way glasses correct focus — it’s about training the coordination, focus, tracking, and processing systems.

Normally, your brain fuses the two images from each eye into one. If your eyes don’t point exactly together, you may see double. Prism lenses adjust where the light enters so the images line up, making it easier for your brain to combine them.
-
Selective occlusion is a vision therapy or eye care technique where part of the visual field in one eye is blocked or blurred to help retrain how the two eyes work together.
Instead of completely covering one eye (like with a traditional patch), selective occlusion uses translucent filters, special tape, or lenses to block just part of the incoming image.
