Reading Difficulty Due to Oculomotor Dysfunction following Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: A Case Report

ABSTRACT

Reading involves adequate coordination of the oculomotor system. As interlink consists of neuronal control, an insult to the brain might affect the signal processing and lead to oculomotor dysfunction that can affect reading performance. Appropriate training to enhance the oculomotor coordination is effective in such scenarios. The purpose of this case report is to highlight the role of neuro-optometric vision therapy as a management option in oculomotor-based reading difficulty.
