Optometry & Visual Performance 149 Volume 14 | Issue 2 | June 2026 component provided consistent reinforcement of the in-clinic interventions and supported cumulative neural adaptation through repetition. Importantly, no other therapeutic interventions were introduced during this period, allowing the observed outcomes to be more directly attributed to OMST. Overall, this comprehensive, multisensory approach is grounded in established principles of neuroplasticity and sensory integration, aiming to restore more efficient processing across visual, vestibular, auditory, and cognitive systems.14 Objective Outcomes Following treatment, the patient demonstrated profound and clinically meaningful improvements across both objective measures and subjective experiences, reflecting a substantial enhancement in overall quality of life (Table 2). Post-treatment eye movement testing revealed greater than a 150% improvement in oculomotor performance, indicating significantly improved accuracy, speed, and coordination of saccades, pursuits, and fixation stability. These changes suggest more efficient integration of visual pathways and improved communication between the cortical and subcortical systems responsible for eye movement control. Functionally, this level of improvement reduces the effort required for visual tasks, allowing the patient to engage in daily activities with less strain and greater visual comfort. These objective findings were strongly supported by the patient’s subjective reports, which highlighted the real-world impact of the intervention. The patient noted an approximately 80% reduction in visual snow symptoms, representing a dramatic decrease in the constant visual disturbance that previously interfered with clarity, comfort, and environmental awareness. This reduction alone contributed significantly to decreased visual fatigue and improved tolerance for both near and distance tasks. In addition, there was a 60% reduction in overall post-concussive symptoms, indicating broad improvement in neurological function and a meaningful reduction in the symptom burden that often affects physical, cognitive, and emotional well-being. Importantly, the patient also reported improved sleep quality and duration, a critical factor in neurological recovery and overall health. Better sleep likely supported enhanced daytime functioning, reduced fatigue, and improved emotional regulation. Vestibular symptoms, including dizziness and motion sensitivity, were also reduced, allowing the patient to move more comfortably within her environment and to tolerate activities such as walking, driving, or navigating visually complex spaces with greater confidence and stability. Cognitive improvements were another key outcome, with the patient reporting enhanced processing speed and mental clarity. This suggests improved efficiency in higher-level neural processing, likely supported by better sensory integration and reduced neurological interference. These gains translated into functional benefits, including mild but meaningful improvements in reading comprehension and stamina. The patient was able to sustain attention for longer periods and process written information with less effort, indicating early but important progress in academic and occupational readiness. Table 2.
