Ever found yourself struggling with eye strain, focusing issues or peripheral vision problems after a concussion? We're excited to welcome Dr. Dan Myers, a seasoned optometrist and an expert in neuro optometry with over a decade of experience. His deep understanding of the human eye and brain functions opens up a world of possibilities for understanding concussions and post-concussion syndrome.
You'll be fascinated to know how our eyesight, especially peripheral vision, plays a major role in our sensory integration. Dr. Myers reveals the impact of concussion on peripheral vision and how it can turn regular tasks into stress-inducing activities. But there's a silver lining, indeed. Dr. Myers shares his arsenal of techniques that can assist in making reading and driving a less daunting task.
Wrapping up, we emphasize the importance of individualized treatment, because, let's face it, no two brains, or concussions, are the same.
