What are accommodative spasms?

Accommodative Spasms can destroy batting averages, reaction time, reading speed and comprehension, test taking, and more. So what are they? An Accommodative Spasm is caused by a spatial miscalculation by the visual processing system in the brain and it can be fixed! Visual Processing Skills are skills you are not born with, but instead, must learn and develop. The ability to focus your eyes perfectly and aim our eyes first requires the ability to even know what light data means when it comes from any location in space! In short, it's a challenging skill and when it isn't fully developed, it can cause a laundry list of symptoms including: blur even with glasses poor reading speed & comprehension switching letters and words when reading switching numbers in math poor test taking seeing words & letters move on a page poor eye tracking double vision blurred vision poor depth perception slow reaction time poor hand-eye and foot coordination clumsiness headaches feeling "off" in space dizziness brain fog feeling "drunk" in space poor balance vertigo symptoms and more At the visual processing institute, we diagnose and treat visual processing deficiencies. Visual processing deficiencies can either be congenital, meaning the visual processing skills that we are not born with haven’t developed to a point that it should have, or the deficiencies can be acquired from a brain injury. Because the visual system involves nearly every part of the brain and brainstem, just about any brain injury such as concussions, inflammation from diseases and illnesses like COVID, and even whiplash can damage any of the several skills that build your visual processing system.
