Question reply:

they are called Ophthalmologists! and yes, they are the ones to see. they will do tests to see how well your eyes work together. and from there, it will be decided if you need visual therapy. plus they can determine if there are any problems on the 'eye ball' end of the connection line or the 'brain end' of the line. and they could give you all the recommendations you need, in terms of specialists or specialty clinics.

I just started with Ophthalmology last week, and the initial appt was about 2 hours!

Do not waste a bunch of money and effort with a neuro-ophthalmologist.

A behavioral optometrist would be better. Some times they call themselves rehabilitation optometrists. Check out NORA for a referral.

BUT, NO. Most concussed people do not need vision therapy.

If they have balance issues, a vision assessment might be worthwhile.

btw, I say a neuro-ophthalmologist yesterday for a vision processing issue. He said that my struggles are not treated by neuro-ophthalmologists.

Put on a batting helmet and go to the batting cage. See how your eyes do.

I would try behavioral optometrist as well. Some have vision therapy. There are also eye exercises online for tracking.
