When vision problems are caused by neurological conditions, a regular eye exam may not be enough. That’s where our neuro optometrists at OCVT step in. We specialize in diagnosing and treating vision disorders linked to the brain, helping patients recover function and adapt to changes.

  • Concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
