Low Vision Care for Brain Injury & Stroke Patients in Ocean Springs, MS

Vision Rehabilitation After Brain Surgery or Stroke

Southern Low Vision provides specialized care for patients who have experienced brain injuries or eye vision loss due to events like strokes or surgery. Neuro-optometric eye care and low vision eye care are critical components of a patient’s rehabilitation after a stroke and should be considered a major part of treatment.

Visual problems are very common in many stroke survivors. Each case is unique though and depends on the severity and location of the stroke. Stroke survivors should always have a complete eye exam as soon as possible after a stroke. A stroke may lead to a host of issues such as shrinking of the visual field, problems with movement in one or both eyes, and blurred or double vision.



Dr. Roderick Fields and his team assess how these conditions affect vision and recommend customized solutions, including specialized eyeglasses such as SVAG (Single Vision After Glasses) designed specifically for patients recovering from traumatic brain injuries.

These devices help patients regain functional vision, making it easier to perform everyday activities such as reading, navigating their environment, and recognizing faces. Each recommendation is tailored to the patient’s individual needs, ensuring that they receive the most effective support for their unique situation. Dr. Fields personally guides patients and caregivers through the process, helping restore independence and improve quality of life.
