People who might benefit from a referral to neuro-optometry may include athletes after a concussion, adults with whiplash after a car accident, elderly people with balance issues, or seemingly healthy children who are struggling in school. More than 50% of patients with traumatic brain injury have eye-tracking and ocular teaming difficulties.
