Omar Mohiuddin, MPH, MS, OTR/L

Prior to joining the Vision Rehabilitation and Performance clinic at the Duke Eye Center in 2017, I worked in clinical and non-profit eye care settings as well as academia doing research in the field of preventive medicine. I now see clients with age-related and acute onset vision impairment and address how these changes in vision lead to performance challenges in activities of daily living, community and work accessibility, functional mobility, and driving safety. I also run an acquired brain injury clinic addressing functional visual symptoms stemming from neurological conditions as well as a sports-vision clinic evaluating and training dynamic visual skills in athletes to improve on-field performance. As an occupational therapist, my focus is to maximize my clients’ independence and potential towards meeting their functional goals. Outside of work, I run a non-profit whose mission is to create social and recreational opportunities for visually impaired youth in the Triangle region of North Carolina.
