This is not general eye care; it's evidence-based treatment, guided by certified vision therapists in Reno, and backed by the latest insights in neuro-optometry.

What Is Vision Therapy?

Vision Therapy (sometimes referred to as vision rehabilitation) is a form of Neuro‑Visual Therapy that helps rebuild how the eyes and brain communicate following trauma. This includes:

Concussions (sports-related, work-related, or from falls)
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
Car accidents or whiplash
Age-related falls or instability
Post-stroke visual processing issues

Even with “20/20” vision, these events can disrupt focus, depth perception, or tracking, leading to symptoms that interfere with everyday life.

What Symptoms Indicate That I Need Vision Rehabilitation?

If you’re dealing with any of the following symptoms after a head injury or fall, a neuro-visual evaluation could help:

Headaches or dizziness during reading or screen time
Sensitivity to light or motion
Difficulty focusing or feeling visually overwhelmed
Trouble walking or maintaining balance
Fatigue from visual tasks
Poor coordination or hand-eye timing
Delayed visual response after a concussion

These symptoms can appear days or even weeks after an injury and often don’t show up on standard vision screenings.

Who Do Our Reno, NV Vision Therapists Help?

Children & Teens Recovering from Concussion

Youth athletes in Midtown Reno’s sports community commonly experience visual symptoms after a concussion. Vision therapy can help young patients return to school, sports, and regular activities safely by improving:

Visual stamina
Tracking and focus
Reading comfort
Sensitivity to light/motion
Confidence after injury

College Students (Including UNR)

Students often struggle with screens, reading loads, and busy visual environments after a concussion. We help them return to class with improved comfort and reduced symptoms.

Working Adults & Professionals

Adults recovering from accidents, falls, or head injuries often notice:

Difficulty concentrating at work
Sensitivity to bright office environments
Trouble reading or using screens
Difficulty driving

Our rehabilitation program helps restore visual efficiency needed for work, parenting, and daily life.

Older Adults

Seniors in Midtown Reno may experience:

Challenges with balance
Increased risk of falls
Difficulty navigating new places
Distortion or discomfort when walking

Vision rehabilitation helps improve stability, awareness, and confidence, supporting safer mobility and independence.

Is Vision Therapy Effective For Athletes Recovering from Concussion?

Athletes need to think fast, track fast, and respond in real time. After a sports concussion, those skills can be dulled or disrupted, even if fitness is back to baseline.

Our Sports Vision Training program, Eye Sport, supports athletes recovering from concussion by re-training:

Reaction speed
Peripheral awareness
Visual decision-making
Confidence in motion
We’ll help you move from rehab to high performance safely and with confidence.

What to Expect: Your Vision Rehabilitation Program

If you’re new to this kind of care, here’s how it works:

Step 1: Functional Neuro‑Visual Evaluation

We assess how your eyes team, track, and process information throughout the day. This evaluation helps pinpoint the underlying cause of your symptoms.

Step 2: Personalized Care Plan

We design a therapy plan around your goals, injury type, and lifestyle. This may include:

Targeted in-office therapy sessions
At-home reinforcement exercises
Therapeutic lenses, filters, or balance tools
Re-integration strategies for daily tasks

Step 3: Consistent Progress Tracking

Your rehabilitation plan will adapt as you improve. Our Reno neuro-visual therapists track symptoms and visual function closely, so you know exactly what’s changing and why it matters.

Step 4: Ongoing Support

If you’re returning to work, school, or sport, we’ll help you ease back with confidence and clarity. We’ll collaborate with other providers as needed, including athletic trainers or occupational therapists.

How Long Does Recovery Take?

Most patients notice improvement within a few weeks. A full rehabilitation plan may take several months, depending on:

Injury severity
Age
Health background
Consistency of therapy

Children, adults, and seniors progress differently, and we adjust treatment based on what your body needs at each stage of recovery.

Is This Like Regular Neuro-Vision Therapy?

Not exactly, but they’re closely related.

Neuro-Visual Therapy (NVT) addresses how the eyes and brain work together. Vision Therapy is one application of that care, helping patients recover from injury, trauma, or neurological events.

We’ll help determine whether your needs are best met with:

A full NVT program
A short-term rehabilitation plan
A bridge into sports training or long-term support
