The 4D BUILT FOR LIFE Rehabilitation Road Map

Eye Movements

The foundation of all visual processing skills begins with tracking. Since approximately 90% of traumatic brain injuries result in some form of oculomotor dysfunction, mastering this step is essential. During this phase, patients improve visual attention, eye-hand coordination, bimanual integration, and impulse control.

Visual Perception

In Month 2, the focus shifts to the parietal lobe, which governs spatial awareness and our understanding of where objects are in relation to ourselves. Efficient parietal lobe functioning allows the brain to better control eye movements for tracking, focusing, and coordination, forming a vital bridge to the next phase.

Eye Timing

Flexibility of the eye muscles takes center stage in Month 3. This phase enhances the ability to maintain clarity and alignment when shifting focus between varying distances, such as glancing between a car dashboard and a street sign. Patients gain improved spatial awareness, better concentration, and enhanced ability to integrate peripheral and central vision.

Visual Perception in Motion

Peripheral awareness is the focus of Month 4, emphasizing the integration of peripheral and central visual information. This skill allows patients to concentrate on what’s directly in front of them while remaining aware of their surroundings—critical for tasks like navigating busy stores without feeling overwhelmed.

Eye Timing in Motion

In Month 5, the two eyes learn to work as a cohesive team, improving depth perception. By aligning and processing visual input accurately, patients gain a better understanding of dimensions, enhance decision-making abilities for activities like driving, and experience improved stamina for reading and scrolling.

Putting it all Together

The final month focuses on automaticity, where all previously developed skills come together. Visual tools become second nature as patients integrate speed, rhythm, and cognitive distractions, allowing their brains to process visual information more efficiently. By this stage, patients can shift their energy toward interpreting what they see rather than focusing on how to see it correctly.

Meet The Founder Of
4D Built For Life And 4D Vision Gym

Dr. Juanita Collier is founder of 4D Vision Gym, a Vision Therapy practice in Connecticut. She earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology from the University of Pennsylvania. She then graduated from the State University of New York, State College of Optometry with her Doctor of Optometry degree.

Dr. Collier has conducted research on Computer Vision Syndrome and received her Master’s degree in Vision Science from the Schnurmacher Institute of Vision Research. Her research has been published in Ophthalmic and Physical Optics; the Journal of the College of Optometrists, Optometry; Journal of the American Optometric Association, and Review of Optometry. She has also completed an additional Pediatric and Vision Therapy externship with an emphasis on Visual Perception at the University Optometric Center in New York City.

She is a Behavioral Optometrist and Fellow of the College of Optometrists in Vision Development, who specializes in post-concussion care, vision-related learning difficulties, and primary vision care for patients of all ages and is incredibly excited to help you overcome your concussion symptoms, even if you’ve experienced them for months!
