Research on the visual impact of TBI
Dr. Steven Rauchman’s peer-reviewed studies and clinical investigations reveal the often-overlooked visual consequences of brain injury—critical evidence in traumatic brain injury (TBI) litigation.
Dr. Rauchman’s research aims to improve diagnostic accuracy and develop effective treatment strategies for TBI-induced visual and cognitive impairments. In addition to his research contributions, he serves as a review editor for the prestigious Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience.
Research focus areas
-
Visual sequelae of traumatic brain injury
Dr. Rauchman investigates how TBI affects the visual system, with a focus on symptoms such as double vision, light sensitivity, and convergence insufficiency.
-
Neurological impairments post-TBI
His research explores the cognitive aftermath of brain injuries, including memory deficits, attention difficulties, and executive dysfunction.
-
Sleep & balance disruptions after TBI
He studies the relationship between traumatic brain injuries and secondary issues such as disrupted sleep patterns and balance instability.
-
Cellular mechanisms of visual dysfunction
He conducts research at the cellular level to uncover how TBI leads to long-term visual and neurological complications, aiming to inform targeted therapies.

Bridging clinical care and scientific research
TBI cases involve complex, often invisible injuries that go beyond standard clinical observation. An expert who also leads scientific research brings credibility and clarity—grounding their testimony in objective data, peer-reviewed publications, and current methodologies. This level of authority can be the difference between an opinion and a defensible explanation.
Expert testimony backed by science
A legal imperative in TBI cases
Turning complex jargon into clear evidence
Jurors and judges need more than technical jargon—they need accessible, evidence-based insight. A research-backed expert like Dr. Rauchman translates the biology of brain injury into courtroom language, helping attorneys establish causation, explain lasting impairments, and reinforce damages with scientifically sound reasoning.
