Today we’re recognizing the first Rowan’s Law Day in honour of Rowan Stringer. Ontario is leading the way in concussion awareness and safety. We honour Rowan’s memory by helping people across Ontario increase their awareness of the dangers of concussions and how to improve safety in sport.
Reducing the risk of concussions is always the goal. But concussions happen and knowing what to do – whether you’re an athlete, a parent, a coach or a teacher – saves lives.
Rehab for your visual system is also an important part of concussion recovery. Visit our Concussion page and https://concussionproject.com to learn more!

It would be very exciting if we could detect Alzheimer’s early before any symptoms with optical coherence tomography (OCT)! This is technology that we already have readily available in our office, as we use it to monitor other conditions such as glaucoma and macular degeneration.
