Adjunct Therapy for TBI, Neck Pain, Gait/Balance Disturbances and Falls in the Elderly: Microprism Lenses and Noise Cancellation
Speakers:
Debby Feinberg, OD, FAAO, Founder of NeuroVisual Medicine & Director, Clinical Care and Instruction at Vision Specialists of Michigan, and Co-Director of the NeuroVisual Medicine Training Program and Mark Rosner, MD, FACEP, FAAO, Director of Education and Research at the NeuroVisual Medicine Institute
- Participants will be become familiar with symptoms of binocular vision dysfunction and hyperacusis
- Participants will learn two methods to screen for BVD
- Participants will be able to describe the pathway to care model, including Remediation vs. Compensation
- Participants will become familiar with conditions that those with BVD are frequently misdiagnosed with
Certain patients can be challenging to help, such as those with concussion / traumatic brain injury with persistent post concussive symptoms (headache, neck pain, dizziness and anxiety), or the elderly with unsteady gait and balance difficulties. Please join Dr. Debby Feinberg and Dr. Mark Rosner as they present a unique approach to this patient population. They will describe how subtle vision misalignments known as Binocular Vision Dysfunction are routinely present but not routinely identified, can be the cause of these symptoms, and how the use of micro-prism lenses and noise cancelling devices reduce symptoms by 80% for the average patient.
