Tyler, I helped Bud find a Neuro Optometrist. He typo'ed.

I researched for him at NORA Home | Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation Association

I went further than just finding behavioral optometrists. I did some research about each one. Some are "also does neuro rehab" but some have a special interest in neuro rehab.

If you are near Chicago, there is an excellent Neuro Optometrist The Mind-Eye Institute : Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation

Dr Zelinksy is very busy and hard to get at appointment with.

Insurance does not usually cover this therapy. Some can get a referral and authorization. If your MD will recommend it, fight for it.

Tyler,

Check out the NORA site.

After all the medical doc visits I had that were of little to no help, the NORA site described me perfectly.

I did a year of vision therapy that helped me to keep my right eye looking where I wanted it too. I did not realize the level of complexity vision and the interpretation thereof require of the brain, it can be a huge energy draw on the wounded brain, fascinating stuff.

Bud

It is fascinating. When your head is healthy, you don't think about it. But when it's not and you're in a busy environment, it's like**** **** how do your eyes and brain take in all this.

The NORA website sounds describes me well too. Some of the items from the common vision problems page apply. I've been working with Bright Eyes Vision Clinic (Minnetonka, MN) for a few months, and have seen a NORA-certified optometrist there. I'm planning on starting their vision therapy program. MD recommended it. Do you have suggestions for how to get insurance to cover?

JBuckl, you mentioned nutrient intake/metabolic issues. Do you have any specific suggestions in terms of diet and/or supplementation or preferred resources on this?

-Quality Fish Oil. I cannot stress this enough. Check out Dr. Michael Lewis' work and this podcast:

How To Heal From A Concussion

-Nutrient Dense Foods

-Anti-Inflammatory Diet for sure.

If you really want good progress, try something like Dr. Terry Wahls, Cavin Ballaster, and Dr. Bredesen promote. Dr Wahls reversed her MS, Cavin has made tons of progress with a ketogenic diet based off of Wahls' protocol. Bredesen has reversed lots of Alzheimer's cases with intermittent fasting, ketogenic diet, supplements, stress reduction, sleep improvement, and physical activity.
