Abstract: Vision loss is often a complication of a traumatic brain injury (TBI). To maximize rehabilitation of a person with a TBI, the professionals who coordinate and carry out therapeutic activities should be aware of the impact impaired vision can have on over all processing. This article will address how the low vision examination and treatment process can be an invaluable adjunct to a rehabilitative therapy program.
