What is an EyeBOX Test?

Concussions are a serious concern, especially for athletes and individuals who have experienced head injuries. Traditional concussion assessments often rely on subjective symptom reporting, which can be inconsistent. Fortunately, advancements in medical technology have revolutionized concussion diagnosis. One such breakthrough is EyeBOX, an innovative, FDA-cleared eye-tracking technology that provides objective and accurate concussion assessments.

At ProPeak Sports Medicine in Huntington, NY, Dr. Joseph Weber-Lopez is proud to offer EyeBOX, making ProPeak the only practice on Long Island with access to this state-of-the-art diagnostic tool. But what exactly is an EyeBOX test, and why is it a game-changer for concussion care?

Understanding EyeBOX

EyeBOX is the first baseline-free concussion assessment device, meaning it does not require pre-injury data to diagnose a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Instead, it evaluates eye movements in response to visual stimuli to detect potential signs of a concussion. By tracking subtle irregularities in eye motion, EyeBOX provides objective, real-time data that helps physicians make more informed decisions about concussion diagnosis and treatment.

How the EyeBOX Test Works

The EyeBOX test is a quick, comfortable, and non-invasive procedure that takes only a few minutes to complete. Here’s how it works:

1. The Patient Watches a Video – The individual sits in front of the EyeBOX device and watches a 220-second pre-programmed video while their eye movements are monitored.

2. Eye Tracking in Real-Time – Using cutting-edge technology, EyeBOX tracks eye movement patterns with high precision, analyzing cranial nerve function.

3. Data Collection and Analysis – The device collects thousands of data points and calculates a score that indicates the presence or absence of a concussion.

4. Immediate Results – Physicians receive real-time, objective results that aid in determining the severity of the concussion and creating a personalized treatment plan.

Unlike traditional tests that rely on patient-reported symptoms or cognitive assessments, EyeBOX provides a data-driven, objective analysis that ensures a more accurate diagnosis.

Why EyeBOX is a Game-Changer for Concussion Diagnosis

• Early and Accurate Detection – EyeBOX identifies concussions even when symptoms are subtle or not immediately apparent.

• No Baseline Required – Since pre-injury testing is not needed, the test can be administered at any time.

• Objective and Reliable – Eliminates subjective biases associated with self-reported symptoms.

• Tracks Recovery Progress – Follow-up EyeBOX tests help monitor improvement and determine when it’s safe to return to normal activities, including sports participation.

Who Can Benefit from an EyeBOX Test?

EyeBOX is ideal for:

• Athletes who suffer head injuries and need a fast, reliable assessment before returning to play.

• Children and Teens who may struggle to articulate their symptoms.

• Adults recovering from falls, car accidents, or other head trauma.

• Anyone experiencing symptoms of a concussion, such as headaches, dizziness, confusion, or nausea.
