Hidden visual problems are some of the most frequently overlooked signs of traumatic brain injury. A new University of Colorado Anschutz article highlights emerging research showing that many veterans, first responders, and others with can pass standard vision tests yet still struggle with significant visual-processing challenges.

At the Marcus Institute for Brain Health, we believe in looking beyond the eye chart. Even with 20/20 acuity, individuals may have difficulty reading, tracking motion, or processing the visual “noise” of everyday environments, challenges that can make grocery shopping, driving, or simply navigating a busy room feel overwhelming.

These symptoms are real, life-altering, and too often dismissed. That’s why our team is committed to advanced vision assessment and rehabilitative care that aims to restore clarity, confidence, and connection. And as research evolves, emerging tools like augmented-reality technologies offer even more potential for improving quality of life after TBI.

This past week we celebrated a remarkable milestone at the Marcus Institute for Brain Health — our 95th cohort. Every group that comes through our doors carries its own stories, its own strength, and its own reminder of why this mission matters so deeply.

At their continuation, this cohort presented our team with a stunning gift we will proudly display. In their own words, the collage reflects a tapestry of symbolism, emotion, and transformation — a visual narrative of growth, resilience, and self-discovery, where even unorthodox spaces and overlapping colors represent the complexity of healing.

Woven throughout the piece are themes of:

• Personal growth (brain, plant, spiral)

• Emotional resilience (phoenix, butterflies)

• Spiritual depth (lotus, sunset, beach)

• Identity and legacy (horse, turtle, numbers)

It’s introspective, aspirational, and deeply human — an artistic reflection of individuals who have endured, evolved, and stepped forward with renewed purpose and authenticity.

Honored doesn’t begin to cover it.
