Transform patients’ lives and love every minute of it.

It’s hard to know what optometrists enjoy more about NeuroVisual Medicine: saying goodbye to 15-minute vision insurance exams or providing immediate relief for their patients’ most painful symptoms. We think you’ll agree there’s a lot to love about practicing NeuroVisual Medicine.

Robert

NeuroVisual Patient
Meet Robert. Robert has worked in the corporate world as a business executive his whole career. This fulfilling career was taken from him after he suffered injuries from a car accident in December 2016. A pickup truck rear-ended Robert that day in 2016 and changed his life forever. He suffered a broken neck and head injury along with nerve damage and partial spinal cord damage. Robert’s pain from the accident was excruciating. He suffered severe headaches, experienced light and noise sensitivity which caused nausea, had dizziness and even lost his balance and fell occasionally. Robert had to stay away from loud settings, and he had to walk with a wide gait and his arms out to keep his balance. Because of the accident, Robert was unable to work for about five years. He was sent to a neurologist and they determined that Robert had been hit in the medulla, or brain stem area, and that he might have damage in the nerve path to his oculomotor and vestibular system. The neurologist referred Robert to a NeuroVisual Medicine specialist to see if microprism glasses would solve his symptoms. At his appointment, the specially trained optometrist put microprism lenses on him and immediately Robert noticed his vision clearing. His head relaxed and his years-long headache disappeared. He was thrilled to be feeling the best he had in years. His diagnosis of Post-TBI Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD) and treatment with corrective microprism lenses gave Robert his life back. Robert feels that he is 90 to 98% returned to the normal life he led prior to the car wreck, and he couldn’t be happier. Robert gives credit to microprism lenses for feeling like himself again. - Robert’s story is not the only one. Many people who suffer from car accidents or other accidents that cause brain and spinal injuries could benefit from microprism glasses. Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD) symptoms such as dizziness, migraines, balance problems and nausea are often able to be alleviated by a simple pair of specialized glasses. If you aren’t screening your patients for BVD, now is the time to take the leap.

NeuroVisual Patient
Meet Renee. On the eve of her wedding in 2001, Renee was involved in a rollover car crash and almost didn't make it. When she arrived at the hospital, they found out that her shoulders were fractured and dislocated but she was safe and going to recover. While her physical injuries healed, she started to experience daily vertigo that persisted for the next two years. She also experienced terrible headaches on a regular basis. She tried all sorts of remedies and visited a number of different doctors to find a cure including a Neurologist, an ENT, an optometrist and a chiropractor. It wasn't Meniere's disease, and her eyes were ruled out too. As she got older, her symptoms got worse – she experienced terrible anxiety as a passenger on the highway. Her nausea and headaches would easily be triggered by walking into big shopping malls and department stores. After 16 years of suffering from her symptoms, she finally found an answer. She heard about a NeuroVisual specialist through a family member. She took the BVDQ™ and scored high, and immediately scheduled her NeuroVisual Evaluation. During her appointment, she recalls putting the microprism trial frames on and, " I started crying. The pain went away. It melted within a minute. Anxiety went away. Dizziness stopped. " We learned that she was suffering from post-concussive Binocular Vision Dysfunction. Since she recalls experiencing car sickness as a child (a classic sign of children suffering from Vertical Heterophoria) there's a chance she had undiagnosed BVD that was exacerbated by her car accident. She was treated with a pair of microprism lenses and special tints to reduce her symptoms. Renee is now back to work and says, "I have life again!" When she started feeling better, her daughters remarked about how she wasn't sad and crying anymore. "I have no more anxiety. It's been 3 years since I've had a panic attack and that is the best feeling ever." Thank you Renee for your persistence and willingness to share your story so that others can learn about this condition! ❤️ – Unfortunately, Renee's story isn't unique. An average of 2 million people each year experience concussions and another 3 million are involved in car accidents. Post-Concussion BVD symptoms are all too common in people who have experienced a head injury of any type. These include nausea, headaches, car sickness, chronic neck pain, and anxiety in large spaces like malls and department stores. If you're not yet screening and treating your patients for their BVD symptoms after a head injury, now is the time to begin.

As a little boy, Noah had trouble walking straight. He frequently ran into walls, but a pair of prisms lenses changed everything.

Noah

NeuroVisual Patient
Meet Noah. Noah’s life was never easy. Years ago, Noah’s mother Shelley was told that her baby boy had torticollis, a condition that causes stiffness in the neck making it difficult to move one’s head. He also was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome and ADHD as a child. He was given ankle braces to help with his severe pronation and wasn’t able to play sports. As a little boy, Noah had trouble walking straight. He frequently ran into walls and would even fall over when hunting for Easter eggs. He was easily disoriented by noise, had trouble navigating his world, experienced blurring while reading, and struggled to keep his handwriting neat. One day, Noah walked into the kitchen to ask his mom a question. Shelley noticed that her son was looking at her sideways with his neck tilted. She asked, “Noah, what are you doing? Why are you looking at me sideways?” Confused, Noah replied, “I’m not. I’m looking you in the eyes.” That was the moment that Shelley knew in her heart something was wrong. She scoured the internet to find possible reasons why her son might be looking at her sideways which led her to a NeuroVisual clinic based in Michigan. Immediately, Shelley had Noah fill out the Binocular Vision Dysfunction Questionnaire (BVDQ™). Shelley was pleasantly surprised when the optometrist called on a Sunday saying that she didn’t want Noah to suffer any longer and to come in as soon as possible. Shelley was hopeful that this optometrist would be able to help her son experience life more fully. Noah had seen countless doctors, undergone vision therapy, visited the hospital, and seen neurologists without success. No medical professional had ever said anything about Binocular Vision Dysfunction potentially being the culprit. During Noah’s appointment, his optometrist put the test glasses on him and instantly he could hold his head up straight. He exclaimed, “I never knew the world had so much detail!” It turns out, Noah had been seeing double vision his entire life. After receiving glasses to correct his vision, Noah’s life was changed forever. Now, Noah stands up tall, is more confident than ever, no longer loses his balance, writes neater, and can even catch a ball. Before, Noah would cower away when a ball was tossed to him because he couldn’t see it clearly enough to safely catch it. After listening during Noah’s exam, Shelley asked if the glasses could work for her too. She’d never had glasses that fully corrected her vision. Now, Shelly and Noah both wear microprism lenses and are living more clearly and experiencing a new normal. - Sadly, Noah’s story is not that uncommon. Many children unknowingly have Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD) and struggle with things like hand-eye coordination with sports, writing neatly, fatigue with reading, and even car sickness. BVD symptoms are often mistaken for other conditions and aren’t properly treated. If you aren’t screening and offering treatment for young patients showing signs of BVD, it is vital you take this step.

You deserve better balance. Make it yours.

20-25 per day

6-8 per day

Achieve a better patient balance

Many of us have been forced to see 20+ patients each day, and an increasing number of ODs are feeling exhausted and burnt out. With NeuroVisual™ Medicine, you can afford to see only 6-8 patients per day while offering them the attention, care, and relief they’ve been searching for.

An icon of the weekly calendar.

Set your own schedule

When patients can go anywhere for glasses, doctors try to offer flexibility to win them over – working evenings and weekends. When you offer in-demand, life-changing relief they can’t receive anywhere else, patients are willing to accommodate to your schedule.

Supercharge your optometric career.

Remove the guesswork.

Learn the step-by-step protocol that makes prism prescribing repeatable and straightforward. For too many years, prism has been unapproachable to most optometrists, “Sometimes it works, other times it doesn’t.”

Become the go-to expert.

Become the specialty optometrist that patients seek out. As a NeuroVisual™ Medicine specialist treating the symptoms of BVD, patients will find you and travel surprising distances for the relief you can provide them.

Create lasting impact.

It feels great to master a new skill, but it feels even better when your new mastery directly helps others. Your reputation gets a boost when you’re able to help your medical colleagues’ toughest patients.
