Description

Struggling to help patients with dizziness, headaches, or poor progress? This fast-based session will equip you with the critical knowledge to address visual deficits that often stall rehab outcomes. Discover when to recommend single vision lenses, multifocals, tints, and prisms to support patients with TBI, vestibular dysfunction, and balance challenges.

Learn to identify “red flag” glasses that hinder recovery, and gain practical strategies to collaborate with vision specialists. Leave with actionable insights to confidently integrate vision-based solutions into your treatment plans and elevate your patient outcomes.

Key Takeaways:

  • Recognize visual deficits, such as dizziness and strain, that hinder rehab progress and determine when single vision lenses, multifocals, or prisms are the solution.
  • Understand how lenses, prisms, and tints impact balance, gait, and coordination to create targeted, effective treatment plans.
  • Learn to identify “red flag” glasses and know when optical tools like progressives or blue light-blocking lenses may do more harm than good.
  • Gain insight into the appropriate use of therapeutic options, such as tints and yoked prisms, to support recovery in patients with TBI or vestibular dysfunction.
  • Dispel common misconceptions about vision care, including the ’20-20-20 Rule’ and blue light-blocking lenses, to ensure evidence-based practice.
