Reclaim Your Vision After a Head Injury

A concussion can bring about many challenges, including visual issues that impact your daily life. Indeed, post-concussion vision problems are more prevalent than one might think, and they can manifest in various ways, including:

  • Headaches
  • Blurred vision
  • Double vision
  • Dizziness
  • Light sensitivity 
  • Difficulty maintaining focus
  • Poor depth perception

These vision challenges often extend beyond mere inconveniences; they can signify an underlying, undiagnosed visual problem that has the potential to cast a shadow over your daily life and make reading, learning, and even routine tasks challenging.

If you or someone you know has recently experienced concussion-related vision issues, it might be time to explore the potential benefits of post-concussion vision therapy.

Post-Concussion Vision Therapy: A Path to Recovery

Post-concussion vision therapy is a customized program that focuses on treating vision problems caused by a concussion. This therapy utilizes non-surgical therapeutic techniques personalized to engage your brain through a series of meticulously designed exercises and activities.

For example, if you experience double vision, your therapist will design and tailor exercises that challenge your brain to merge those two images. As time passes, your brain learns to perceive a complete picture, thereby expediting the healing process. 

This proactive approach empowers you to regain visual function and confidence rather than waiting for symptoms to subside on their own.

I’ve been going to Dr. Bernier for about 15 years now and wouldn’t have it any other way. He’s... an incredible doctor- knowledgeable, kind, and truly listens to and cares for his patients. He’s a great advocate and I’m always so impressed with his team. I’ve heard stories from friends of them buying glasses and getting them adjusted at other places (specifically chains) and they are always very disappointed with the quality of product and care they receive. You won’t run into that here! Thank you so much, CEC!

Dr. Burke is excellent. Sharon my optical technician spent over an hour helping adjust 2 pairs of gl... asses that I had spent a ton of money for at another provider. She helped make my current glasses work and helped me with a new pair from their office for my technical work. I had tears of joy after I left. I could actually see!! Very few places put the EFFORT in like the Chippewa Eye Centre.

New patient process was absolutely seamless. Everyone in this office is so nice and personable. They... were great at handling every step of the appointment with no friction, explaining everything as they went. I was able to get my exam, pick out frames, handle costs/insurance questions, and complete extra testing with no hiccups. I highly recommend this office and will continue to visit for any future eye care needs I have!

Dr. Bernier is the best. I have seen opthalmologists and optometrists in 5 states: NY, PA, IA, KS an... d MO. Because of a congenital eye condition, I have worn glasses since age 2. I was first examined by Dr. Bernier while he was volunteering at the Society for the Blind and Visually Impaired. In all my years of getting fitted with the proper prescription, I had never had a doctor who made that process seen calm and unhurried. Not only that, but the prescription was significantly better than any I had ever had. I was curious to see if Dr. Bernier would take the same calm unhurried approach while in his own practice. Well, I can assure you that he does. I have been a very satisfied customer for 20+ years and have not been shy about recommending his services to others. Dr. Bernier--and all of his staff-- give customer first care from the moment you enter the door.

I always have a great experience at Chippewa. Dr. Bernier very intelligent and goes above and beyond... for his patients. The staff are all super friendly and knowledgeable about what they are doing. I know I'm always getting a great experience and product here and thats what keeps me coming back!
