How Misjudging Space Creates Problems in Patients with TBI, ADHD, and ASD

It’s not always at night when Mind-Eye patients go “bump” – Not being able to judge how far or close objects are at any given point in time is not only scary from a safety standpoint, but can cause patients to limit their own mobility out of fear of getting hurt. Frequently bumping into things is no way to live. We at the Mind-Eye Institute help our patients expand their awareness of surrounding space in an effort to help them avoid misjudgments. Some of the patients have trouble judging the size of space they see. During reading, those patients tend to skip words, go on the wrong line and have trouble finding the next line. Misjudging space is a common problem among patients with mild traumatic brain injuries (concussions), ADHD and/or those on the autistic spectrum. The good news is that there’s a way for patients to learn this important visual skill and get their confidence back. When there is a disconnect between sensory systems, problems occur. By synchronizing the imbalances and reconnecting the sensory inputs, improvement is often observed. For instance: 🔵 Linking visual sensors with those from the neck and feet can improve balance 🔵 Alleviating the misjudgment of space can aid in concentration during reading 🔵 Linking multiple senses can make people feel more like themselves again 🔵 Linking auditory with visual perception can make listening easier Join us for a Q&A with Deborah Zelinsky OD, FNORA, FCOVD, where she dives deeper into this topic and answers viewer questions. ▶︎ If you or someone you know has experienced a vision problem, brain injury or feel like "something is different" then take our free online "Brain Quiz" or speak with one of our New Patient Advocates and come in for a Mind-Eye exam today by contacting our office at 847-984-3156 or visiting us at https://mindeye.com The Mind-Eye Institute is an optometry practice with an emphasis on neuro-optometric rehabilitation that provides world-class care by measuring the eye as well as how the brain processes its visual inputs.
