The short answer
Neuro-optometric rehabilitation treats the visual problems that often follow a concussion, traumatic brain injury, or stroke, such as double vision, light sensitivity, dizziness, difficulty reading, and trouble in busy environments. At Riverdell Vision, Dr. Bruce Meyer, FCOVD, evaluates how the injury has affected the visual system and builds a rehabilitation program, which may include therapeutic lenses, prisms, and guided therapy, to help the brain and eyes work together again.

Why this matters
After a concussion, many people are told their scans are normal and to simply wait, yet they still cannot read, tolerate screens, or feel steady in a busy aisle. Vision is deeply tied to balance, attention, and comfort, and when a brain injury disrupts the visual system, everyday life becomes exhausting. These symptoms are real, common, and treatable.
Who this is for
- People with lingering symptoms after a concussion or TBI
- Patients recovering from a stroke with new visual difficulty
- Anyone with double vision, light sensitivity, or dizziness after a head injury
- Those told their eyes are fine but who still cannot read or focus comfortably
