Neuro-Optometrist in Anna Nagar
Specialist Visual Pathway Assessment & Rehabilitation
Caring Vision Therapy's COVD and NORA-certified neuro-optometrists provide specialist visual pathway assessment at our Anna Nagar East clinic for patients with TBI, stroke, concussion, visual field loss, and vestibular-visual mismatch. No referral required: direct appointment at Sri Arcade, Anna Nagar East.
8 Tests We Run at Your Neuro-Optometric Evaluation
Best-corrected measurement per eye, with and without prism correction, to establish functional baseline.
Amsler grid, confrontation fields, and automated perimetry where indicated. Detects hemianopia, quadrantanopia, and scotomata.
Quality of smooth pursuit movements across all gaze directions, identifying oculomotor nerve or brainstem-level deficits.
Rapid targeted eye movements used in reading and scanning. Under-shoots and over-shoots indicate cerebellar or frontal pathway disruption.
Near vergence demand quantified to identify convergence insufficiency or divergence excess, common after TBI and concussion.
Focusing speed and stamina under alternating plus and minus lens load. Accommodative insufficiency after concussion is frequently undiagnosed.
Binocular rivalry and neural suppression depth measured. Central suppression can develop as a secondary adaptation to diplopia after neurological injury.
Cognitive-visual integration tests measuring figure-ground discrimination, form constancy, visual memory, and processing speed. Critical for TBI and stroke rehab planning.
Each test generates a quantified result. You receive a written report, not verbal feedback. Suitable for sharing with neurologists, rehabilitation specialists, or insurers.

Traumatic brain injury and sports concussion cause convergence insufficiency, photophobia, saccadic disruption, and vestibular-visual conflict. We assess and treat the visual component, with a written report for your medical team. TBI vision rehabilitation at Anna Nagar.
Visual Field and Perceptual Defects
Cortical visual impairment, hemianopia, quadrantanopia, and visual inattention following neurological events. Visual field expansion therapy using sector prisms and perceptual rehabilitation protocols.
Vestibular-Visual Mismatch
Dizziness, motion sensitivity, and balance problems with a visual component. Vestibular-ocular motor assessment and integration therapy at Anna Nagar. Concussion vision therapy Anna Nagar.
How Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation Works
Neuro-Visual Evaluation (90 min)
Quantified assessment of 8 visual functions including field, motility, vergence, suppression, and perceptual speed. Full written report issued same day.
Diagnosis and Programme Design
Your neuro-optometrist identifies which visual systems are disrupted and designs a structured rehabilitation programme. Sequenced by clinical priority, not by what is easiest.
In-Clinic Rehabilitation Sessions
Weekly sessions at our Anna Nagar clinic using lenses, prisms, filters, computerised therapy, and manual techniques. Programme adapted at each session based on response.
Objective Progress Monitoring
Formal re-assessment every 8 to 10 sessions. All outcome measures documented and compared to baseline. Discharge criteria are objective, not time-based.
What Our Anna Nagar Neuro-Optometry Clinic Offers
Neuro-Optometry Anna Nagar - FAQs
What is a neuro-optometrist and why would I need one?
A standard optometrist assesses refractive error and basic eye health. A neuro-optometrist additionally evaluates the complete visual pathway: how the brain processes visual information, using specialist tests for binocular function, eye movement disorders, visual field, and processing speed. If you have persistent visual symptoms after a neurological event, or if standard eye tests have come back normal despite real symptoms, a neuro-optometric evaluation is the appropriate next step.
My MRI was normal after concussion. Can neuro-optometry still help?
Yes. Standard MRI does not detect the functional visual pathway disruptions that cause post-concussion vision symptoms. Many patients with persistent headaches, light sensitivity, and reading difficulty after concussion have a completely normal MRI. A neuro-optometric assessment identifies these functional deficits that imaging misses, and a structured rehabilitation programme addresses them directly.
Do I need a referral from a neurologist to attend your Anna Nagar clinic?
No referral is required. You can book directly. If you have existing neurological reports or MRI results, bring them as they help us plan the evaluation. We provide a detailed written report after your assessment that you can share with your treating neurologist if co-management is appropriate.
Can children have neuro-optometric problems?
Yes. Children with autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, cortical visual impairment, sensory processing disorders, and acquired brain injuries benefit from neuro-optometric assessment. Our team at Anna Nagar is experienced with paediatric presentations and adapts the assessment approach for younger patients and those with communication differences.
How many sessions does neuro-optometric rehabilitation take?
Programme length depends on the diagnosis and severity. Post-concussion oculomotor rehabilitation typically requires 16 to 24 sessions for most patients. Post-stroke visual field rehabilitation may require 6 to 9 months. Your neuro-optometrist will give a specific estimate after the initial evaluation, with objective reassessment checkpoints built into the programme.
