Vision is More Than Seeing Clearly

From Vision to Functional Vision

Vision helps us recognise people and objects, find what we are looking for, understand where things are, read, learn, guide our movements and move safely through our surroundings.

How we use vision during everyday activities is known as functional vision.

When some aspects of vision do not work effectively, functional vision may also be affected. This means that everyday activities may become more difficult, slower or require more effort.

Who I Support and How I Can Help

Vision2Brain supports children, young people and adults who experience difficulties using vision in everyday life.

Through Functional Vision Assessment, I explore how you use vision, what may be making everyday activities difficult, and which areas of your vision may benefit from Visual Skills Training.

The findings are brought together into your individual Functional Vision Profile, which helps guide the next steps.

Where appropriate, Individualised Visual Skills Training focuses on practising specific visual skills and learning how to use vision more effectively in everyday activities.

A Story From My Work - A Client I Worked With, Share Anonymously

Before

After a serious car accident in 2025, she had a major brain injury that needed surgery. It caused weakness on the right side of her body and damaged one of the nerves that moves the right eye. Her right eyelid drooped and stayed closed, her right eye turned outwards and upwards, and she had double vision.

Our work together

Alongside her medical care, we worked step by step on:

eye movements
helping both eyes work together as a team (binocular vision)
focusing between near and far (accommodation)
understanding what she sees (visual perception)
visual attention and visual memory

and on using her vision more easily in everyday activities.

Today
Her right eye is now open and moves much more freely, and she no longer reports double vision. Her vision is not yet fully clear, but she started to use both eyes and she feels more confident using her vision in practical, everyday activities such as cooking, walking outside and using her phone.

“After the first six months of doing my visual exercises every day, with a lot of discipline, I became more independent. I started walking outside on my own, without anyone accompanying me, and I started doing my home activities again, such as cooking.”

For professionals

Medical diagnosis (from her medical records): recent major traumatic brain injury following a road traffic accident (2025), with an operated left frontal cortico-subcortical intraparenchymal haematoma, right spastic hemiparesis, and post-traumatic right oculomotor (III) nerve paresis. Observed at the start of our work: ptosis, exotropia and hypertropia of the right eye, and diplopia. Outcome after medical care combined with neurovisual training: improved eyelid opening and ocular motility; the client no longer reports diplopia, including in left gaze. Adduction of the right eye remains incomplete, with eyelid elevation on attempted adduction, and visual clarity is improving but not yet complete.
