Basic Neuro-Optometric Diagnostic Tests for Mild Traumatic Brain Injury/Concussion: A Narrative Review, Perspective, Proposed Techniques and Protocols

Vision problems are common in individuals with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI)/concussion. However, a global conceptualization of the diagnostic process remains incomplete and practitioner dependent. Thus, a comprehensive diagnostic test battery is proposed to assist in the management of these patients. This battery includes a range of basic clinical tests of a sensory and motor nature, with all having a clinical and scientific rationale. These tests have been used by the authors for many years, with good success, and furthermore they have been found to be clinically useful and insightful.
