Name:
Visual Rehabilitation Post-Brain Injury Workshop
Date:
April 24, 2018
Time:
7:00 PM - 8:30 PM PDT
Event Description:
Traumatic injury to the brain, including stroke and concussion, often produces dramatic changes in vision and perception. Double vision, loss of visual fields, distorted perception of surroundings are just a few of the commonly reported symptoms. Many head trauma victims say that persistent visual disturbances they experience after their injury are a primary obstacle to their recovery and return to active life. Visual rehabilitation has proven to be a useful adjunct to physical and other therapies for TBI patients.
What can be done to restore maximum visual function?
In this lively, hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to assess, test for and distinguish visual conditions that are often triggered by brain trauma. You will learn basic tests that reveal vision problems, have the opportunity to ask questions, and to understand the role of visual rehabilitation in restoring patients to their best possible level of performance.
Refreshments will be served.
