In a previous post, I shared a study showing that 82% of 218 concussion patients had some form of oculomotor dysfunction. The most common issues we see are: Convergence Insufficiency – difficulty pulling the eyes inward to focus on near objects Accommodative Insufficiency – inability to sustain focus up close

If you’ve been dealing with symptoms like headaches, nausea, dizziness, brain fog, fatigue, light sensitivity, or difficulty focusing—even months or years after your concussion—I want you to know this: your symptoms are real.

Here’s another video I frequently share with parents, especially when recommending vision therapy for a child. It’s a clear, compelling explanation—also by my Canadian colleagues—about how a child can have 20/20 vision and still struggle with learning, reading, and attention.

When people think about vision, they usually focus on whether they can see 20/20 or need glasses or contacts to see better. But have you ever been told your vision is “perfect” even though you still don’t feel like you’re seeing clearly?

Posture comes up a lot in conversations with my patients. The body is made up of many interconnected systems—no system operates in isolation. Visual stress can cause the body to compensate with certain behaviors, which may present as postural changes.

We’re often asked about the difference between optometrists and ophthalmologists. While both professionals work closely to care for patients, their training and roles are quite distinct.
