One of the biggest misconceptions about your visual system is that you are born with it developed to processing all of the visual data that comes your way when, in fact, developing the skills to effortlessly build a 3D world from all of the light data your two eyes deliver to the brain actually take 13 years to fully develop.

​

The visual processing system consists of at least 20 visual processing skills and is one of the most complex systems to develop.

​

When the brain sustains an injury from concussion, whiplash, surgery, sustained inflammation from infection such as pneumonia of COVID, or other forms of injury, the highly complex visual processing system is one of the most common systems to suffer from the damage.

​

In fact, studies have found that 90% of post-concussion syndrome patients suffer from a visual processing deficiencies and we often see patient who have been suffering for decades after a concussion as the skills do not recover without therapy and the deficiency will be present for the rest of their life without treatment.

​

​Luckily, these skills can often be relearned with targeting vision therapy and specialized equipment that provides biofeedback when the brain makes a mistake.
