Sensory Integration Visual Rehabilitation for Special Populations , including Patients with Traumatic Brain Injuries, Stroke, Whiplash, Developmental Delays, Cerebral Palsy, Multiple Sclerosis, etc. The behavioral optometrist assesses and utilizes optometric technology to improve all visual abilities that affect human performance.
Visual acuity is only one measure of visual function.
There are many other key visual abilities such as depth perception, focusing flexibility, peripheral vision, visual attention, tracking, visual memory, directionality, eye hand coordination, and visualization. In order to better understand the integrity and efficiency of the visual system in our daily lives, all of these skills must be assessed. Most routine eye health examinations do not assess or treat these visual abilities. Behavioral optometry seeks to improve and develop these skills for the betterment of the patient's life. These and other visual problems can be treated with behavioral optometric techniques that improve visual processing speed and accuracy.
