💡 In This Episode:
👁️ Dr. Neera Kapoor, Clinical Professor of Rehabilitation Medicine at NYU Grossman School of Medicine and internationally recognized neuro-optometrist, joins Dr. Jessica Schwartz for a deep dive into the missing link in concussion care — vision.
🤝 Together they explore how to identify visual and ocular motor dysfunction, bridge care between disciplines, and understand the functional component of vision that so many concussion patients struggle to describe.
📍 Highlights include:
• Why vision is foundational but often overlooked in concussion care
• The difference between primary eye exams and neuro-optometric assessment
• Listening for subtle subjective red and yellow flags patients can’t name
• Why measuring recovery is as important as the break in near-point testing
• How to sequence care between visual, vestibular, and cervical systems
• Practical tips for reading and screen habituation with real-world carryover
• Pacing, grounding, and re-connecting patients to their body after TBI
• Upcoming research and global teaching by Dr. Kapoor
