TL;DR: In this article, the frequency of oculomotor dysfunctions in a sample of ambulatory outpatients who have acquired brain injury, either traumatic brain injury (TBI) or cerebrovascular accident (CVA), with associated vision symptoms was determined by a computer-based query spanning the years 2000 through 2003.

Abstract: BACKGROUND\nThe purpose of this retrospective study was to determine the frequency of occurrence of oculomotor dysfunctions in a sample of ambulatory outpatients who have acquired brain injury (ABI), either traumatic brain injury (TBI) or cerebrovascular accident (CVA), with associated vision symptoms.\n\n\nMETHODS\nMedical records of 220 individuals with either TBI (n = 160) or CVA (n = 60) were reviewed retrospectively. This was determined by a computer-based query spanning the years 2000 through 2003, for the frequency of occurrence of oculomotor dysfunctions including accommodation, version, vergence, strabismus, and cranial nerve (CN) palsy.\n\n\nRESULTS\nThe majority of individuals with either TBI (90%) or CVA (86.7%) manifested an oculomotor dysfunction. Accommodative and vergence deficits were most common in the TBI subgroup, whereas strabismus and CN palsy were most common in the CVA subgroup. The frequency of occurrence of versional deficits was similar in each diagnostic subgroup.\n\n\nCONCLUSION\nThese new findings should alert the clinician to the higher frequency of occurrence of oculomotor dysfunctions in these populations and the associated therapeutic, rehabilitative, and quality-of-life implications.

A Brief Vestibular/Ocular Motor Screening (VOMS) Assessment to Evaluate Concussions: Preliminary Findings
Anne Mucha,Michael W. Collins,R J Elbin,Joseph M. Furman,Cara Troutman-Enseki,Ryan DeWolf,Greg Marchetti,Anthony P. Kontos +7 more
TL;DR: Preliminary support is provided for the utility of the VOMS as a brief vestibular/ocular motor screen after sport-related concussions and may serve as a single component of a comprehensive approach to the assessment of concussions.
A comprehensive, targeted approach to the clinical care of athletes following sport-related concussion
TL;DR: Sport-related concussions are heterogeneous and require an individualized clinical approach and the use of a comprehensive approach for assessing specific clinical trajectories following a sport-related concussion will help clinicians better conceptualize this injury.

Vision Diagnoses Are Common After Concussion in Adolescents
Christina L. Master,Christina L. Master,Mitchell Scheiman,Michael Gallaway,Arlene Goodman,Roni L. Robinson,Stephen R. Master,Matthew F. Grady +7 more
TL;DR: A high prevalence of vision diagnoses (accommodative, binocular convergence, and saccadic eye movement disorders) was found in this sample of adolescents with concussion, with some manifesting more than one vision diagnosis.

Karen D. Brahm,Heidi M. Wilgenburg,Jennine Kirby,Shanida P. Ingalla,Chea-Yo Chang,Gregory L. Goodrich +5 more
TL;DR: The vision findings suggest that combat troops exposed to blast with a resulting mild TBI are at risk for visual dysfunction, and combat troops with polytrauma injuries are atrisk for visual Dysfunctions and/or visual impairment.

Near Point of Convergence After a Sport-Related Concussion Measurement Reliability and Relationship to Neurocognitive Impairment and Symptoms
Kelly L. Pearce,Alicia Sufrinko,Brian C. Lau,Luke C. Henry,Michael W. Collins,Anthony P. Kontos +5 more
TL;DR: Test the reliability of repeated near point of convergence (NPC) measurements in a sample of athletes after an SRC; compare the symptoms and cognitive impairment of athletes with normal NPC to those with CI after anSRC; and explore the relationship among age, sex, learning disability, migraine history, and CI.

Prevalence of ocular motor cranial nerve palsy and associations following stroke.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify all patients referred with suspected visual impairment to establish the presence and type of ocular motor cranial nerve palsies (OMCNP) following stroke.
Vision Therapy: Ocular Motor Training in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury.
TL;DR: More substantial evidence is required before vision therapy can be accepted as a useful tool in the rehabilitation of patients with brain trauma, particularly in the setting of persistent symptoms after mild traumatic brain injury.
Versional eye tracking in mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI): Effects of oculomotor training (OMT)
TL;DR: The versional-based OMT had a significant, positive effect on most aspects of versional tracking and is suggestive of improved rhythmicity, accuracy and sequencing of saccades following OMT in mTBI as a result of oculomotor learning.
The consequence of spatial visual processing dysfunction caused by traumatic brain injury (TBI)
TL;DR: Understanding vision as a bi-modal process facilitates a new perspective of visual processing and the potentials for rehabilitation following a concussion, brain injury or other neurological events.
