People come into his office for performance, attention anxiety, etc. and one of the first things Dr. Trayford looks at is the eyes. Using Videonystagmography, seeing how well you move your eyes slow, how well you move your eyes fast, and the ability to hold your eyes on a target, he can help diagnose which part of the brain is not working properly. Think about getting your eyes tested in this way. Thanks for listening!
