Functional, Evidence-Based Vision Rehabilitation
Our OT-led program focuses on restoring or improving the visual skills needed for daily activities such as reading, driving, workplace performance, learning, sports, balance, and safe mobility.
We help patients whose visual systems have been affected by:
- Concussions & traumatic brain injury
- Stroke & neurological conditions
- Visual processing disorders
- Eye movement and tracking difficulties
- Dizziness, imbalance, and visual-vestibular dysfunction
- Post-concussion syndrome
- Functional vision challenges impacting learning or work
Our Approach - A Medical, Functional, and Collaborative Model
We emphasize functional outcomes, not eye exercises. Treatment is designed to support how the patient uses their visual system in real-world tasks.
Our model includes:
1. Comprehensive Functional Vision Evaluation (OT-led)
A detailed assessment of visual efficiency, eye movements, visual processing, and how visual deficits affect daily tasks.
2. Coordination with Eye Doctors
Occupational therapists collaborate directly with WOC optometrists to integrate medical eye findings, diagnostic imaging, and specialty care into each rehabilitation plan.
3. Customized Treatment Plans
No two patients receive the same program. Therapies target specific deficits affecting reading, posture, attention, balance, driving, school performance, and overall participation.
4. A Whole-Person Focus
We consider visual symptoms within the larger context of cognition, vestibular function, sensory processing, and lifestyle demands.
