Brain injury from a traumatic event like a concussion, or medical condition such as stroke or other neurological disease often impacts daily function. Vision problems may be overlooked during initial evaluation as symptoms may not be present until days or even weeks following the incident. Therefore, visual deficits related to traumatic brain injury and other neurological disorders should be evaluated by a Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation Optometrist, a doctor who has special expertise in the assessment and treatment of visual disturbances associated with damage to the central nervous system. -Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation Association.
