Concussion & Sports
ATHLETE NEUROVISION CENTRE AND CONCUSSION
Boosting Vision and Sports Performance
A CONCUSSION IS A FORM OF MILD TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY.
Concussions are a result from a direct blow to the head, or indirectly from something such as whiplash and twist of the head/neck.
The impact causes the brain to hit against the inside of the skull causing brain bruising or bruising of the brain stem with the aggressive twist. It is estimated that nearly ½ a million (~500,000) concussions occur yearly in the Canada.
CONCUSSION SYMPTOMS CAN PERSIST
10% of concussions result in symptoms that can last months, or more. When these symptoms are unrelenting, the patient is diagnosed with Persistent Post-Concussion Syndrome (PPCS). Although most concussion resolve within one month.
GENERAL SYMPTOMS
CONCUSSIONS HAVE THESE TYPICAL SYMPTOMS. *Vision related
- Confusion
- Headache*
- Disorientation
- Vomiting and/or Nausea
- Unsteadiness*
- Light sensitivity*
- Blurred Vision*
- Double vision*
- Loss of place when reading*
- Post-traumatic amnesia
- Dizziness*
THE MISSING LINK
UP TO 1/2 OF SYMPTOMS ARE VISUAL, MEANING VISION IS OFTEN THE MISSING LINK.
Recent research suggests that over 50% of patients with concussion or post-concussion syndrome have visual problems that may cause headaches, eye-headaches, double vision, eye strain, blurred vision or dizziness.
Since seeing is our dominant-sense and about 80% of information channels through our eyes, Persistent Post-Concussion Syndrome (PPCS) may cause adults to have reduced performance in life: work, school or sports.
For some athletes with PPCS, the effortless process of making sense of what is seen is altered. One or more visual skills may be fragile and lose their auto-pilot mode and result in interference with performance in life.
OVERCOMING REDUCED VISUAL-PERFORMANCE SECONDARY TO CONCUSSION
Optometrists have a great understanding of the visual system. They have the opportunity to retrain visual skills through a program of vision therapy or neuro-optometric rehabilitation. This helps eliminate the visual symptoms most commonly associated with Persistent Post-Concussion Syndrome (PPSC) and boost vision and sports performance.
GETTING TREATMENT
YOU WILL WANT AN OPTOMETRIST DEDICATED TO NEURO-OPTOMETRIC REHABILITATION (VISION THERAPY)
Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation represents a specific area of optometry, which addresses deficits in eye-teaming, focusing, visual tracking, visual processing problems, and related visual problems. These visual problems are common with athletes who have concussion and other forms of acquired brain injury. Treatment may involve spectacle lens prescriptions, prisms, filters, special tints and vision therapy which can provide relief.
Vision therapy entails a variety of non-surgical therapeutic procedures designed to vitalize visual function. Vision therapy involves a series of treatments during which carefully planned activities are carried out by the athlete under professional supervision. The targeted treatments are determined by the nature and severity of the diagnosed condition. Vision therapy is done to boost visual and sports performance – not to simply strengthen eye muscles.
