Bio: Graham Erickson, DiplAAO, FOVDR, writes on optometric evaluation and management of sports-related concussion, including the visual sequelae of mild traumatic brain injury such as convergence insufficiency, accommodative dysfunction, saccadic dysfunction, photosensitivity, peripheral motion sensitivity, abnormal egocentric localization, and visual information processing deficits. His recent work addresses the role of optometrists in identifying and managing concussion-related vision disorders, including the use of symptom surveys, quantitative pupillometry, automated eye tracking, scanning laser ophthalmoscopy, and vestibular/ocular motor screening in assessment.
