Why Vision Care Matters After a Brain Injury

After a traumatic brain injury (TBI), concussion, or stroke, vision changes are common but often overlooked. Even when eyesight appears normal, the brain’s ability to process visual information may be disrupted. This can lead to difficulties that affect daily life, independence, and recovery.

Common Symptoms

People recovering from brain injuries may experience:

  • Blurred or fluctuating vision
  • Double vision
  • Eye strain, fatigue, or headaches
  • Light sensitivity (photophobia)
  • Difficulty reading or concentrating
  • Dizziness, balance issues, or motion sensitivity
  • Challenges with driving or returning to work or study

These symptoms can be frustrating, slowing rehabilitation and affecting confidence.

How we can help

At Eyes by Design, we take a holistic approach to post-injury vision care. Our behavioural optometry assessments look beyond standard eyesight checks, focusing on how your eyes work together and how your brain processes what you see. Depending on your needs, we may recommend:

  • Prism lenses to reduce double vision or strain
  • Tinted or filtered lenses for glare and light sensitivity
  • Vision therapy for targeted exercises to rebuild visual skills
  • Customised eyewear solutions to support reading, driving, or returning to work

Recovery is unique to each person. We provide ongoing support and collaborate with your wider healthcare team to help you regain confidence and independence

I booked an appointment here not knowing what to expect after reading about behavioral optometry. Upon meeting Dr Nick I felt at ease and he was extremely validating accommodating. I have adhd and anxiety and he made me feel comfortable and even went the further steps to fully explain in detail the processes and technologies he uses. This was such a positive experience for me and he and Raymond have been nothing short of understanding and accommodating with me. After the appointment Raymond was so extremely nice helping me choose frames and answering my questions. The ongoing support has also been amazing. I would recommend eyes by design to everyone but especially to neurodivergent people. Thankyou so much ☺️

Thank you Raymond for amazing service. And Nickolas for perfect analysis on my damaged eye with all possible equipment available at your office. You returned me peace of mind. One week nearly passed. Eye is recovered in 95%. Nick Senkevitch

I was really impressed with Dr Nick. He was so good with my 3 year old and explained things to me very clearly. I had a couple of questions once I got home and it was bother at all to call him and ask and get clear answers. I fee confident in the care I received for my child at Eyes by Design

I can’t recommend Eyes by Design Kincumber highly enough! The service here is always outstanding, and Nick’s knowledge and attention to detail are second to none. Even after moving interstate three years ago, I still make the trip back because no one else gets it right like Nick does. The care taken to ensure glasses and contacts fit perfectly makes all the difference—you always walk away with the best possible comfort and vision. If you’re looking for glasses, contacts, or any optical needs, this is the only place I recommend. Truly exceptional service every time!

Dr Nick is so welcoming, he makes you feel at ease from the moment you walk into the practice. There was no rush, no upsell, lots of knowledge and explaining without being overloaded. I was treated as a person not a number, all professionalism and kindness, even down to choosing frames. The team at Eyes By Design know their stuff and I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Dr Nick to anyone.

Nick provides a very comprehensive eye exam and thorough eye health check with the most up to date equipment available. I would highly recommend you to visit him for your next eye test.
