SE District Event - Sept. 18: What Happens Visually After A Concussion
When: Tuesday, Septembe r 18, 2018 from 7:00 - 9:00 pm
Where: Great Moves 1775 S 8th St, Colorado Springs, CO 80 905
Course Description: Vision is one of our predominate senses, so what happens to that system during a conc ussion? During this presentation you will learn about the current definitio n and pathophysiology of concussions, the most common visual signs and symp toms seen after a concussion and their timelines for resolution, and how ne uro-visual rehabilitation can help overcome those symptoms. We will discuss Afferent Visual Pathway (Ocular Health, Color Vision, Visual Fields, Pupil s, Refractive Error), Efferent Visual Pathway (Ocular motility), and Higher Order Pathways (Visual processing). The brain relies on the visual aspects to function efficiently and when that is not happening it can impact every aspect of life.
Speaker: Dr. Joshua Watt’s mission is to help those that face a daily str uggles in school, work, and life because of visual difficulties. He works e xtensively with children and adults who have challenges in learning or visi on information processing, brain injuries, and athletes who are looking for the competitive edge.
He establis hed Impact Vision Therapy in Colorado Springs, Colorado in 2014 and expande d to a second location in Castle Pines, Colorado in 2017. With a focus on v ision therapy, neuro-optometric rehabilitation, and sports vision training, the team at Impact Vision Therapy truly is “Impacting Lives Through Vision.”
Dr. Watt graduated from Southern College of Optometry in 2013 and is a Fellow of College of Op tometrists in Vision Development (COVD). He is involved in the American Opt ometric Association Sports and Performance Vision Committee, Colorado Optom etric Association, and the local optometric society.
