Episode 104: The Eye–Brain Connection — Neurovision, Concussion Recovery & Peak Performance
– with Dr. Aakash Shah
In this episode of the Neurologic Wellness Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Aakash Shah, a leading neurovision specialist, to explore the powerful connection between vision, brain function, and human performance.
Dr. Shah works with patients ranging from infants to professional athletes, specializing in pediatric vision, traumatic brain injury (TBI), concussion recovery, and sports vision training. With over a decade of experience, he explains how vision is processed in the brain—not just the eyes—and why optimizing the eye-brain connection is critical for recovery, learning, and peak performance.
Dr. Shah also shares his inspiring personal journey. Born with severe vision loss due to exotropia (turned-out eye) and amblyopia (lazy eye), he was told by multiple doctors that nothing could be done. Through neurology-based vision therapy, brain training, and light therapy, he was able to restore the majority of his vision as an adult—including depth perception and the ability to pass a DMV eye exam.
In this conversation, we discuss how neuroplasticity allows the brain to rewire itself and how targeted vision and brain training can lead to lasting recovery, improved cognition, and elite-level performance.
