A study (https://journals.lww.com/optvissci/Abstract/2017/01000/Vision_Therapy_for_Post_Concussion_Vision.11.aspx) found that convergence insufficiency (CI) and accommodative insufficiency (AI) were the most common vision issues following a concussion. The researchers compared concussion patients with these vision issues who underwent vision therapy to those who didn't and found a marked improvement in the former. Vision therapy completely remediated CI in 85% of patients and improved it in 15%. Vision therapy remediated AI in 33% of patients and improved it in 67%. The researchers concluded that vision therapy was very effective at treating these common post-concussive vision issues in the vast majority of cases.
"Many people don't realize that our eyes are part of the brain," said Dr. Laura Vasilakos, founder of Family Eyecare Solutions. "When someone suffers any type of injury to the brain, whether it is a stroke, car accident or developmental delay, their vision will be adversely affected."
