The visual system is intricately linked to the brain, making neuro-optometry a critical specialty for understanding vision beyond the eye itself. This book examines visual processing pathways and their dysfunctions due to neurological conditions such as traumatic brain injury, stroke, multiple sclerosis, and developmental disorders. It includes assessment tools for oculomotor function, visual-spatial awareness, and perceptual deficits. Management approaches such as vision therapy, lens-based strategies, and interdisciplinary collaboration are discussed. The content supports clinicians in recognizing and treating neuro-visual impairments that affect learning, coordination, and daily function.
Mason Lewis is a cognitive neuroscientist with a clinical optometry foundation, known for his pioneering contributions to understanding visual perception disorders. He has held visiting research posts in Europe and North America, exploring the interface of brain plasticity and visual stimuli. His articles have appeared in top-tier journals covering neurodevelopment, attention deficits, and post-trauma visual dysfunction. In addition to academia, he consults for rehabilitation centers on protocol development. His current projects involve cortical mapping of visual processing networks.
