MANALAPAN, NJ -- Following a concussion or other Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) there is often an interruption in communication between the eyes and the brain. Studies show that at least 50 percent of TBI patients suffer from visual dysfunctions, with one such study finding a 90 percent incidence of post-trauma visual complications, such as blurred vision, sensitivity to light, reading difficulty, headaches with visual tasks, and difficulties with eye movements.

NORA announced the addition of six new members to its Advisory Board, at the Association’s 27th Annual Conference in St. Louis.

The Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation Association recognized five practitioners for their important contributions to the field of Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation at the Association’s 27th Annual Conference in St. Louis.
