Metrics of concussion-related vision disorders among children and adolescents with persisting post-concussive symptoms using an objective eye tracking device.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Early identification of concussion-related vision disorders (CRVDs) may improve outcomes by enabling earlier management, referral, and treatment. Objective eye tracking may provide additional data to support the diagnose of CRVDs. The purpose of this study was to determine the utility of objective infrared eye tracking in identifying CRVDs among adolescents experiencing persisting post-concussive symptoms (PPCS) more than 28 days after injury.

Methods

This was a prospective study of adolescents with PPCS evaluated with visio-vestibular examination (VVE), comprehensive vision examination, and an eye tracking device.

Results

Of the 108 adolescents enrolled, 67 (62%) were diagnosed with a CRVD by comprehensive vision examination. On VVE, the near point of conv
