Description
There is a high prevalence of visual dysfunctions in patients who sustained a brain injury that is poorly understood and often not treated.
This webinar will discuss specific neurological visual conditions such as Post-trauma Vision Syndrome and Visual Midline Shift Syndrome.
Optometrists attending this webinar will gain valuable insights into managing these neurological visual dysfunctions and learn about the role of the Neuro-Optometrist in co-managing patients.
