Have you ever wondered why your vision still feels "off" long after your concussion recovery was supposed to be complete?

You're not imagining it — and you're definitely not alone. So many concussion survivors go through the motions of rehab, only to find their eyes still struggle to track, focus, or process movement the way they used to. The problem? Vision issues are often an invisible piece of the concussion puzzle that goes undiagnosed or under-treated.

In this episode, Natasha sits down with Dr. Paul Rollett, a neuro-optometrist who understands this struggle on a personal level. After suffering a severe concussion during optometry school, Dr. Rollett experienced the same visual challenges he now helps his patients overcome. His story sheds light on how vision connects deeply to brain recovery — and why addressing it can make all the difference in your healing journey.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

• Why vision problems are so common — yet so often missed — after concussion

• How neuro-optometry bridges the gap between vision and brain healing

• The signs your eyes may still be struggling post-injury

• How targeted vision therapy can accelerate your recovery and clarity

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Even in environments focused on vision, post-concussion visual issues can go overlooked — awareness and specialized care matter.

• Recovery is possible, but it often requires a collaborative approach between neuro-optometrists, physiotherapists, and other rehab professionals.

• Vision therapy isn't just about the eyes — it's about retraining the brain to process visual information effectively.

• Personal experience often fuels passionate, patient-centered care — and Dr. Rollett's journey is proof of that.
