In this insightful episode of the Be the Cause Podcast, we speak with Dr. Danise Miller, an optometrist with a specialty in neurovision rehab and the owner of Thrive with Vision. Dr. Miller explains that vision is a function of the brain, not just the eyes, and how a concussion—a form of traumatic brain injury (TBI)—can disrupt the brain's neurons, leading to often-overlooked vision problems.

She discusses the difference between a standard eye exam and her work, which focuses on taking care of the brain and making visual processes more efficient.

Learn why symptoms like dizziness, nausea, and blurry or double vision may not show up immediately after a concussion. Dr. Miller also introduces the concept of the brain's "gas tank" and explains how vision training, rehabilitation, and therapeutic glasses can help patch the "holes" caused by a brain injury to facilitate true recovery and regulate the nervous system.
