Post Concussion Syndrome and Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation
“I am able to read again. This is such a pleasure that I used to enjoy. I am also able to drive at night without fear of having an accident.”
After a head injury, whiplash, or stroke, seeing can change dramatically. Reading, driving, and even shopping can become confusing because of problems with eye muscle coordination or loss of any of the other 7 Visual Abilities. For over thirty years at Cook Vision Therapy Center, Inc., we have been helping closed-head-injury patients to see to put the world back together again.
- Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) often results from blows to the head or body, commonly due to falls, sports injuries, or accidents in Metro Atlanta. At Cook Vision Therapy Center, we understand that over 50% of your brain’s function is tied to vision—which is why TBI can severely disrupt visual processing. For over 40 years, our Atlanta-based specialists have helped patients rehabilitate vision challenges caused by TBI, restoring clarity and comfort in daily life.
Concussion & Post-Concussion Syndrome Care
A concussion—a milder TBI—can temporarily impair brain function, with symptoms typically resolving within weeks. However, if issues like headaches, dizziness, or vision problems persist beyond a month (or three months, per medical guidelines), it may indicate post-concussion syndrome. As Metro Atlanta’s trusted vision therapy experts, we create personalized rehabilitation plans tailored to your symptoms’ severity. Let our team design a program to help you regain confidence in driving, reading, and daily activities.
Common Visual Symptoms of TBI
TBI-related vision disruptions treated at our Atlanta clinic include:
- Physical discomfort: Blurred/double vision, light sensitivity, headaches, dizziness, nausea.
- Daily challenges: Balance issues, confusion, or anxiety while driving.
- Reading difficulties: Eye fatigue, losing focus/place, or reduced comprehension.
Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation (NOR) in Metro Atlanta
At Cook Vision Therapy Center, we address post-TBI vision challenges through Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation (NOR). Vision relies on two systems:
-
Central vision: Identifies details and meaning (e.g., reading).
-
Peripheral vision: Guides balance, depth perception, and movement.
After a TBI, these systems can clash, causing confusion, attention struggles, or dizziness. Our Atlanta-based specialists use advanced tools—custom lenses, prisms, filters, and tailored vision therapy—to realign these systems. With 40+ years of experience, our goal is to help you regain clear, comfortable vision to reclaim your daily life.
When to Schedule NOR for TBI Vision Issues
Seek neuro-optometric care at our Metro Atlanta clinic if:
-
Medical specialists confirm your TBI recovery plan and visual symptoms persist.
-
Symptoms (blurred vision, headaches, imbalance) last over a month post-injury.
-
A rehab team addressed other issues, but vision problems remain.

Questions & Answers: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Vision Care
-
What causes vision problems after a TBI?
TBI disrupts the brain’s central and peripheral vision systems, which control detail recognition, balance, and spatial awareness. This misalignment, often from head trauma, leads to blurred vision, dizziness, or light sensitivity. Cook Vision Therapy Center in Metro Atlanta specializes in rehabilitating these issues through Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation (NOR).
