Abstract

This case study examines long-term vision related issues after a suspected concussion. After assessments, it became apparent that the vision issues were widespread and ongoing vision therapy was conducted. A 12-month follow up revealed significant improvement in all oculomotor metrics, although the patient remained outside normative ranges.

Highlights

  • Past clinical research using eye tracking with patients who have known concussions shown deficits in eye-target synchronization, smooth pursuit eye movements, velocity error and positioning errors [1,2]

  • The gaze trail of her eye movements can be seen in Citation: Hunfalvay M

  • Results of this case study show ongoing oculomotor deficits compared to age-related population norms after a suspected concussion

Summary

Introduction

Past clinical research using eye tracking with patients who have known concussions shown deficits in eye-target synchronization, smooth pursuit eye movements, velocity error and positioning errors [1,2]. Chief Science Officer, Department of Science, Right Eye, 7979 Old Georgetown Road, 8th Floor, Bethesda, MD 20814, USA. Clinical assessments of suspected brain injuries include gross assessments of oculomotor abilities (such as the Vestibular Ocular Motor Screening (VOMS) [3]. Past studies have shown eye tracking as a promising tool in such cases [4]. This case study examines clinical assessments and eye tracking to monitor patient change over time after extensive vision therapy from a suspected concussion.
