Featuring Dr. Lisa Dok, OD, FAAO, FOVDR | Optometry & Vision Rehabilitation
Vision and oculomotor disorders (eye movements) are a common sequelae of traumatic brain injury (TBI), including concussion/mild TBI. In this lecture, Dr. Lisa Dok, OD, FAAO, FOVDR Optometry & Vision Rehabilitation, will provide an introduction to visual disorders that can occur following TBI including, but not limited to, common disorders of binocular vision (convergence insufficiency, divergence insufficiency), photophobia, defects in stereopsis, accommodative insufficiency, changes in pupillary function, visual fields deficits, and their functional impact. The relationship between the vestibular system and eye movements will be briefly addressed in order to better understand potential vestibular contributions to eye movement disorders following TBI. Dr. Lisa Dok is a board certified optometrist with a clinical focus on vision development, rehabilitation, and neuro optometric care. She has extensive clinical experience in the assessment and treatment of visual dysfunction related to brain injury, binocular vision disorders, strabismus, and amblyopia.
