Master day-to-day living skills after a neurological event.
The human brain plays a major role in processing what we see. It also determines how we understand visual information in the world around us. As a result, a brain injury or event—usually caused by something like a stroke, nerve damage, or tumour—can change your vision and affect the way you move through the world.
Regardless of how a brain injury happens, readjusting to daily life with a change in vision can be challenging.
Neurological Vision Services reduce the challenges of adjusting to daily life by equipping you with valuable skills for day-to-day living, at home and in the community. These skills ensure you can stay as independent as possible after a major neurological event.
