I am absolutely THRILLED to share the recent publication of the fourth edition of Manual of Traumatic Brain Injury: Assessment and Management, edited by Felise S. Zollman and Seth Herman. You can find eTextbook Access with Springer Publishing here: https://1l.ink/ZR5LLSL

I had the opportunity to author Chapter 12: “Evaluation and Management of Oculomotor Dysfunction After Mild Traumatic Brain Injury.”

Oculomotor dysfunction is a common and often functionally significant consequence of mild traumatic brain injury, affecting reading, visual comfort, balance, mobility, and return to work, school, and daily activities. This chapter provides a clinically focused approach to evaluating these deficits and integrating their management into the broader care of patients with mTBI.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this comprehensive resource and to help highlight the role of vision, oculomotor function and optometry/ophthalology in interdisciplinary brain injury care.

I am also honored to be listed with some other absolutely amazing experts in brain injury medicine - what an amazing resource.

Migraine is so much more than a headache—and for many patients, the visual system is right in the middle of it.

I’m looking forward to presenting “Migraine on the Mind: When the Brain and Eyes Collide” at Academy 2026 Anaheim.

We’ll explore the complex intersection between migraine, the brain, and vision, with a practical focus on what eye care providers need to recognize in the exam room—from visual symptoms and photophobia to ocular motor findings, differential diagnosis, and management strategies.

My goal is to help clinicians better answer the question: When a patient with migraine presents with visual symptoms, what can we identify, what should concern us, and what can we actually do to help?

Two weeks until Academy 2026 Anaheim! 🧠👁️

If you see patients with concussion or brain injury in primary eye care, this workshop is designed to help bridge the gap between recognizing their visual complaints and knowing what to evaluate, what the findings mean, and what to do next.

Join me for:

Brain Injury Vision Dysfunction Diagnosis and Management for the Primary Eye Care Provider

This will be a practical, clinically focused workshop covering the evaluation and management of vision dysfunction following brain injury—with strategies you can take directly back to your exam room.

WORKSHOP: Brain Injury Vision Dysfunction Diagnosis and Management for the Primary Eye Care Provider

We’ll take a practical approach to recognizing and evaluating visual dysfunction after brain injury—and discuss management strategies that primary eye care providers can integrate into clinical practice.

LECTURE: Migraine on the Mind: When the Brain and Eyes Collide

We’ll explore the complex relationship between migraine and the visual system, including how to recognize visual manifestations, think through differential diagnosis, and better manage these patients in eye care.

If you’ll be at Academy 2026 Anaheim, I’d love to see you at one—or both!

Five lectures. Four days. Countless opportunities to learn, collaborate, and advance patient care. Looking forward to seeing everyone in Phoenix!

I’m excited to be heading to Optometry’s Meeting® 2026 in Phoenix and honored to be presenting five sessions spanning some of my favorite topics in clinical practice, education, and interdisciplinary care.

This year’s presentations include:

🔹 How to Handle Non-Ocular Emergencies in Office (Hands-On Workshop)
🔹 Multiple Sclerosis: Visual Manifestations and Neuro-Optometric Strategies
🔹 TITRATE – The New Approach to the Differential Diagnosis of Dizziness
🔹 Research Myth-Busting: Numbers Don’t Lie, But Sometimes Researchers Do
🔹 Ocular Health Complications in TBI

Whether we’re discussing evidence-based practice, neuro-optometric rehabilitation, concussion and brain injury, dizziness, systemic disease, or emergency preparedness, the common theme is helping clinicians translate knowledge into better patient care.

One of the things I love most about speaking is the opportunity to learn from colleagues, exchange ideas, and challenge ourselves to keep growing as healthcare providers.

If you’ll be attending Optometry’s Meeting®, I’d love to see you there. Feel free to stop by, say hello, and join the conversation!

A patient suddenly loses consciousness in your exam lane.

Does your team know exactly what to do next?

At Optometry’s Meeting® 2026, I’ll be joining Dr. Cecelia Koetting and Dr. Jade Coats for a hands-on workshop focused on one of the most overlooked areas of practice readiness: non-ocular medical emergencies.

While we spend years learning to diagnose and manage eye disease, many of us receive limited training on handling medical emergencies that can occur in our offices at any time.

This session is all about turning uncertainty into confidence through practical preparation, real-world scenarios, and team-based response strategies.

Because when an emergency happens, patients aren’t concerned about your clinical knowledge—they need a healthcare team that is ready to act.

Looking forward to seeing colleagues, students, and staff members in Phoenix!

Traumatic brain injury doesn’t just affect how patients think, move, and feel—it can have profound effects on ocular health that are often overlooked.

I’m excited to be presenting “Ocular Health Complications in TBI” at Optometry’s Meeting® 2026 in Phoenix.

As optometrists, we frequently encounter patients with persistent visual complaints following concussion and brain injury. While much attention is given to functional vision disorders, it is equally important to recognize the ocular health findings and complications that can accompany TBI.

In this session, we’ll discuss:
🔹 Ocular health conditions associated with traumatic brain injury
🔹 Retinal, optic nerve, and neuro-ophthalmic manifestations of TBI
🔹 Clinical signs that may impact diagnosis, prognosis, and management
🔹 Evidence-based assessment strategies
🔹 The role of interdisciplinary care in optimizing patient outcomes

Brain injury patients often present with complex and multifaceted visual challenges. Understanding the ocular health implications allows us to provide more comprehensive care and identify findings that may otherwise be missed.

I look forward to sharing clinical insights, current research, and practical pearls that clinicians can immediately apply in practice.

Will I see you there?

What if the biggest threat to evidence-based practice isn’t a lack of research—but how we interpret it?

Evidence-based care requires more than simply reading abstracts and accepting conclusions at face value. As clinicians, we need to understand study design, statistical manipulation, bias, conflicts of interest, publication practices, and the difference between statistical significance and clinical significance.

In this session, we’ll explore:
✅ Common ways research findings can be misrepresented or overstated
✅ How to critically evaluate the quality of evidence
✅ Red flags that should make clinicians pause before changing practice patterns
✅ Practical strategies for becoming a more informed consumer of scientific literature

Our patients deserve care that is guided by both strong evidence and sound clinical judgment.

I hope you’ll join us on June 19 in Phoenix for what promises to be a lively discussion.

Honored to be speaking at the American Optometric Association (AOA) Optometry's meeting in Phoenix in just a few weeks!

I’ll be presenting on topics that are especially important to my clinical practice, including the role of vision in patients with concussion, vestibular disorders, and complex neuro-optometric presentations. As our understanding of these patients continues to evolve, collaboration between optometry and the broader rehabilitation team has never been more important.

I’m looking forward to connecting with colleagues from across the country, sharing clinical insights, and learning from the incredible lineup of speakers including a number of my Intrepid Eye Society peers!

If you’ll be attending AOA in Phoenix, I’d love to connect!

Excited to be presenting this June 6 on CEwire: Prism Pearls: Practical Prescribing Strategies for Adult Diplopia

Prism prescribing can be one of the most rewarding — and challenging — aspects of clinical practice. Adult patients with diplopia often present with complex combinations of neurologic, sensory, vestibular, and binocular vision complaints that don’t always fit neatly into textbook patterns.

In this lecture, we’ll focus on practical, real-world approaches to:
• Evaluating symptomatic adult diplopia
• Determining when prism is — and is not — appropriate and when labwork and imaging needs to be ordered.
• Small-angle vs large-angle prescribing strategies
• Common prescribing pitfalls and how to avoid them
