Oculomotor dysfunction is a common symptom of post-concussion syn-drome (PCS). In this study, the efficacy of Vision Therapy (VT) for the treatment of PCS-related symptoms of the visual system was investigated retrospectively. Overall, 56 patients were selected, all of whom presented with clinical impairment of at least one measure of oculomotor function-ing. Activities related to VT were wide-ranging and case-dependent, but all aimed to improve one of the five main areas of visual function. Following the completion of VT, all patients demonstrated statistically or clinically significant improvements, as defined by the use of Morgan’s norms, in atleast one measure of oculomotor functioning related to PCS. In general, improvements in measures of oculomotor functioning were greatest for near point of convergence, vergence facility and accommodative facility. Patients who received 20 sessions of VT had improved and less variable outcomes than those who received 5-10 sessions of VT. In addition, VT im-proved symptoms of visual discomfort in patients presenting with PCS. The results of this retrospective analysis demonstrate significant improvements in measured outcomes for all patients who received VT, and support VT as a treatment option for symptoms of PCS.
The results of this retrospective analysis support the findings of previous studies and demonstrate statistically and clinically significant improvements of measured oculomotor functioning in patients presenting with oculomotor deficiencies associated with PCS and support VT as a viable treatment option for associated symptoms. Further-more, the present results suggest that longer treatment times (20 VT sessions) might improve measured outcomes compared to those in patients who receive 10 or less VT sessions; however, the impact of delayed VT treatment re-mains unclear. Although no placebo group was available in this study, the results demonstrate significant improve-ments in measured outcomes for all patients receiving VT and support VT as a treatment option for PCS.
At Amplify with Dr Wernick I was seeking help for seemingly intractable, probably age-related dryness. I've seen other doctors about it, and that has been helpful, but what he explained to me about it and the careful way he answered all my questions gave me so much more of a clear understanding of what is going on (and is not) that I am more able to implement all his and others' recommendations than I was before. And he gave me additional resources for further follow-up. I am most grateful.
Wow! This is a great Eye Care medical facility. I was thoroughly examined by Dr. Pinkhasov for over 2 hours. She made sure to check my eyes for pretty much everything and patiently explained proper care for my eyes. They definitely know how to provide great care and treat their patients right. Now I know why they have such a great reputation and been around for so long.
Dr. Kavner is a gifted diagnostician and orthoptic therapist. He treated me several decades ago for a condition similar to dyslexia. I was having migraines five times per week. I worked with him for about a year and I experienced tremendous improvement (down to 3-4 per year) that has lasted.
Dr. Kavner recommended two types of eye therapy for my daughter. One of them using bio-feedback. In just three sessions she is seeing considerably better. She shouted this morning: Ooh my God! I could not see these letters with my glasses on, and now I can see them without my glasses. If you are willing and able to invest in improving your vision, this is a good place to go to!

I have always found Dr Kavner's work, expertise and wisdom of the highest caliber. As one of the fathers of OT, occupational othomology, his depth and breadth of knowledge about the eyes' health and wellbeing of the patient is exemplary. Cannot say enough good things about him.
