SUMMARY:Advancing Neuro-Optometric Care in ABI & TBI—Insights from the New Edition
DESCRIPTION:Description:\n\nLecture by Drs. Marc Taub\, Daniella Rutner\, and Christina Esposito on the evolving understanding of the visual and vestibular consequences of acquired brain injury (ABI) and traumatic brain injury (TBI). This presentation is offered in conjunction with the publication of the updated volume Revisiting the Visual & Vestibular Consequences of Acquired Brain Injury and the launch of the new OEPF Specialty Certification in ABI/TBI .\nThis lecture will provide a deep\, clinically focused exploration of topics essential for all practitioners working with brain-injured populations\, including: \n• Understanding the Visual–Vestibular System After Injury\nHow trauma and cerebrovascular events affect oculomotor control\, vergence and accommodation\, visual fields\, balance\, spatial orientation\, and egocentric localization. \n• Evidence-Based Clinical Approaches\nPractical frameworks for assessment and rehabilitation\, including updated protocols for managing visual–vestibular mismatch\, post-trauma visual midline shifts\, accommodative dysfunctions\, and binocular instability. \n• Interdisciplinary Management Strategies\nThe crucial role of collaboration between optometry\, neuropsychology\, OT\, PT\, and rehabilitation medicine in maximizing functional recovery and patient quality of life. \n• Emerging Issues in ABI/TBI Care\nCurrent findings on pediatric concussion\, visual snow syndrome\, dry eye disease in ABI\, biomarkers for injury\, and the psychosocial dimensions of recovery. \n• Preparing for the Future of Neuro-Optometry\nHow technological innovations\, improved diagnostic tools\, and the new specialty certification are shaping the next generation of clinical practice. \nRather than focusing on the book itself\, this lecture will immerse attendees in the content—the science\, the clinical reasoning\, and the integrative care strategies that define today’s neuro-optometric management of ABI and TBI. \nNew Book
