How do we determine the effect stress has on your eyes?

We do a visual field analysis.

The eye nerve carries the message of vision to the brain where it is registered and interpreted. The path of the optic nerve travels through the brain and may be affected by conditions such as a stroke, head injury and other diseases such as multiple sclerosis, glaucoma and tumors amongst others.

With visual field analysis we evaluate the function of the eye nerve
and vision fibers in the brain to identify, diagnose and
monitor your vision and health.

Neuro-Visual Postural Therapy (NVPT) is a specialised rehab approach that helps retrain the brain to better coordinate visual input with the body—especially after conditions like concussion, stroke, or brain injury.

It helps with:
• Dizziness & vertigo
• Poor balance
• Blurry or double vision
• Difficulty focusing
• Motion sensitivity

How it works:
NVPT targets the brain’s ambient visual system—the part responsible for spatial awareness and posture. Through eye exercises, balance training, and sometimes prism lenses, it helps “reset” how the brain processes visual information.

Patients who did NVPT has improved balance, clearer vision, improved coordination, and greater independence in daily life.

If you or someone you know struggles with these symptoms after a neurological event, this could be a valuable part of recovery.

Ever noticed your vision feels “off” when you’re stressed?
There’s a reason for that.

Stress activates your body’s fight-or-flight response, which can:
• Increase eye strain and fatigue
• Cause blurred or fluctuating vision
• Trigger headaches around the eyes
• Affect focus and visual processing

Your visual system is closely linked to your brain — so when your mind is overwhelmed, your eyes often feel it too.
The good news? With the right support, these symptoms can be managed and improved.

If your eyes feel tired, strained, or just not quite right, it might be more than just screen time.
Let’s take a closer look. 👁️
