Summary

This study tests whether a six-week program of eye exercises delivered through virtual reality can help adults aged 18 to 42 who have vision problems after a concussion. Participants are randomly assigned to either the eye exercise program or usual care (education and symptom management). The main goal is to see if a larger trial is possible, looking at recruitment, completion, and safety.
