Content is intended for educational purposes and is based on current literature\, clinical experience\, and published evidence where available. \nPresenter Bio\nDr. Susan Buxton is a behavioural and neuro-functional optometrist with more than 45 years of clinical experience and a passion for helping patients achieve their highest level of visual and neurological function. \nAfter graduating from the University of Waterloo School of Optometry\, Dr. Buxton spent four remarkable years in Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo)\, where she established and managed optical workshops throughout Africa. During this time\, she trained local nurses to perform eye examinations and assisted surgeons with cataract and glaucoma procedures\, experiences that fostered her lifelong commitment to expanding access to quality eye care. She continues her humanitarian work through regular mission trips to Guyana with the Canadian Vision Care team. \nIn 1992\, Dr. Buxton co-founded Byron Optometry in London\, Ontario. She later transitioned her focus to neuro-functional optometry and\, in 2017\, helped establish the London Vision Training Clinic\, where she specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with post-concussion syndrome (PCS)\, acquired brain injury (ABI)\, and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Her work centers on helping patients retrain the visual system and restore the critical connection between the eyes and the brain. \nDr. Buxton’s clinical interests also include behavioural optometry for children with learning-related visual difficulties\, strabismus and amblyopia\, Autism Spectrum Disorder\, and sports vision\, helping athletes optimize visual performance. \nHer Wednesday CE presentation brings together decades of clinical experience and practical insights into integrative approaches that complement neuro-optometric rehabilitation\, including nutrition\, inflammation management\, and lifestyle strategies that support recovery and long-term visual health. \nRegister
